Figure Lengend Snippet: The secretion of danger signal proteins, chemokines and interferon-induced proteins is induced on MSU stimulation from LPS-primed macrophages. A, Human macrophages were left unstimulated or primed with LPS for 21 h. After this macrophages were left untreated or activated with MSU for 3 h and the cell culture supernatants were collected. Exosomal fractions were enriched as depicted in Materials and Methods, and Western blotting analysis of danger signal proteins Annexin-1, Galectin-3 (Gal-3), and HSP90 was performed. B, Human macrophages were stimulated as in (A), and the secretion of chemokines CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, and CXCL10 was quantified by Luminex assay. Representative data from one experiment is shown; n = 2 independent experiments. C, Macrophages were left untreated or primed with LPS after which they were stimulated with MSU for 3 and 6 h. Total cellular RNA was isolated, and expression of chemokine genes was analyzed with quantitative RT-PCR as depicted in Materials and Methods. The data are reported as fold induction compared with controls. Mean with S.D. of two independent experiments is shown. D, Western blot analysis of IFIT-3 and MxA expression from total cellular lysates and cell culture supernatants of untreated and LPS-primed macrophages with and without MSU stimulation.
