Figure Lengend Snippet: A. Representative flow cytometry plots showing the surface marker expression of CD14 and CD16 on freshly isolated healthy monocytes (0hrs) and monocytes treated with increase in concentration of resistin or control GFP for 24 hours (N=5). B & D. Bar charts showing average percentage of CD14+ or CD14+CD16+ populations under indicated conditions. C. Representative flow cytometry plots showing the surface marker expression of CD14 and CD16 on monocytes incubated with or without TLR4 neutralising antibody (TLR4Ab) prior to exposure with resistin or GFP control for 24 hours (N=4). E. Relative expression levels of RETN in three different types of human healthy monocytes . F. Representative brightfield microscope images of healthy monocytes/macrophages morphology following 6-day differentiation of monocytes treated either with 250 ng/ml of GFP control or resistin (Left). Blue arrows = attached macrophages; red arrows = suspended monocytes; scale bar 100 µm. Quantification cell confluency after 6 days treatment of monocytes either with GFP control or resistin (right). G. Percentage of live cells in suspension cultures of monocyte differentiation, treated either with GFP control or resistin. Error bars = ± SEM; ns, no significance; *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01; ***, P<0.001.
Article Snippet: The resistin concentration was measured in the PPP supernatant using the Human Resistin Standard ABTS ELISA Development Kit (Peprotech, 900-K235), according to manufacturer’s protocol.
