Figure Lengend Snippet: AGE-LDL increased CCR2 mRNA level in human macrophages. A) The CCR2 mRNA level was quantified by RT-PCR following 6 hours of treatment of macrophages with either LDL or AGE-LDL. B) Cells were preincubated with 50 μg/mL of either anti-RAGE or isotype control antibodies for 1h before stimulation. Data are normalized to the respective expression levels in LDL-treated cells, and shown as mean ± SEM; n=6. The experiments were performed three times for each donor.
