Figure Lengend Snippet: Control cells kept untreated and only cultured with complete media. (A) 50% MS-CSF treatment significantly increased the amount of secreted VEGF compared to both Control untreated and Ctrl-CSF treated groups. In contrast, (B) BDNF level was significantly elevated in MS-CSF treated group, where it was not affected by Ctrl-CSF treatment, compared to control untreated group. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc test and expressed as mean ± SEM. Level of significance was considered as * for p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***P<0.0025, ****P<0.0001.
Article Snippet: Human IL-1β/IL-1F2 DuoSet, Human VEGF DuoSet, Human Total BDNF Quantikine ELISA kits (R&D Systems, USA) and Human Interleukin-6 ELISA Kit (SUNLONGBIOTECH, China) were used for this purpose, following their manufacturer’s protocol.
