Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunomodulatory function of mucins (PSIM) and synthetic mucus (SM) biomaterials on macrophages. (a) Fluorescence imaging of pHrodo bioparticle uptake by RAW 264.7 macrophages. Macrophages were stained with phalloidin (red) and DAPI (blue) to visualize actin and nuclei, respectively ( n = 4 technical replicates). Scale bar represents 50 μ m. (b) The percentage of macrophages that phagocytized pHrodo bioparticles after treatment was quantified via flow cytometry ( n = 4 technical replicates). (c) The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was measured using flow cytometry to determine the phagocytic capacity of macrophages that phagocytize pHrodo bioparticles ( n = 4 technical replicates). non-significant (ns), * P < 0.05, *** P < 0.001, and **** P < 0.0001 for one-way ANOVA. Data show mean ± SD. (d) Graphical depiction of the study to examine impact of direct treatment with mucins in solution and hydrogel form on macrophage phenotype.
