Figure Lengend Snippet: Uptake of DiI-LDL by PMA differentiated THP-1 monocytes. Representative false-color images of fluorescent LDL (DiI-LDL) uptake by macrophages. Cell nuclei are shown in red, and DiI-LDL is shown in green. A, DiI-LDL only. B, DiI-LDL with 1 μm apo(a). C, DiI-LDL with 1 μm apo(a) + 6 mm TX. D, dose-response effect of TX on the apo(a)-induced uptake of DiI-LDL. Results from a representative experiment with S.D. within the experiment are shown. Fluorescence of DiI-LDL within the fixated cells was quantified by imaging using Arrayscan VTI and the software Bioapplication. The scale bar (white line) is 100 μm.
Article Snippet: LDL uptake by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-differentiated THP-1 monocytes Differentiation of THP-1 monocytes (ATCC–TIB-202) into macrophages was done in RPMI 1640 medium with Glutamax + 10% FCS (Invitrogen) and 50 ng/ml PMA (Sigma) by diluting the cells and seeding the 30,000–40,000 cells/well in 100 μl/well into Packard View plates followed by incubation for 4 days at 37 °C and 5% CO 2 .
