Figure Lengend Snippet: Impact of ADAMTS-7 deficiency on vascular smooth muscle cell supernatants secondary to incubation with CCL17. A . Representative cytokine profiler blots (left) and heatmap visualizing cytokine profiler results. Cytokines displaying a more than 50% difference between the conditions are highlighted in blue. CCL17 was similar between the groups (red). B . Validation of findings from A using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (n=6 each). Each symbol indicates one independent experiment. Data are mean and s.e.m. Unpaired t-test. Abbreviations: CCL20 , C-C motif chemokine 20; FC , fold-change; GM-CSF , Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor; HGF, Hepatocyte Growth Factor; ICAM1 , intercellular adhesion molecule 1; IL-1β , Interleukin 1-β; MCP - 3 , Monocyte Chemotactic Protein 3; scr , scramble; TS7 , ADAMTS-7; VEGF , Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor.
Article Snippet: In cell culture supernatants, GM-CSF (DGM00), IL-1β (DLB50), CCL7 (DCC700), VEGF (DVE00), HGF (DHG00B), ICAM1 (DCD540), and CCL20 (DM3A00; all from R&D Systems) were used to quantify cytokine concentrations.
