Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) RAW264.7 cells were cultured for 24 h in the absence (V, vehicle alone) and presence of each drug (10 µM). The cells were lysed, and levels of CD9 and CD81 were examined by immunoblotting. Blots of results with fluvastatin (Fluv) and simvastatin (Simv) are shown. Anti-actin blots show that comparable amounts of protein were loaded in each lane. ( B ) After testing 1,165 drugs, levels of CD9 and CD81 relative to actin were quantified by densitometry. Fold changes of the expression levels compared with vehicle alone were calculated and plotted. Drugs that increased the level of either CD9 or CD81 more than 1.5-fold compared with vehicle alone were regarded as positive. Correlation between fold changes in CD9 and CD81 levels was analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. ( C ) RAW264.7 cells were cultured in the absence (V) or presence of multiple statins (10 µM) and levels of CD9 and CD81 were examined by immunoblotting. The statins are arranged in order of decreasing lipophilicity. Ceri, cerivastatin; Simv, simvastatin; Fluv, fluvastatin; Ator, atorvastatin; Rosu, rosuvastatin; Prav, pravastatin. ( D ) RAW264.7 cells were cultured in the absence (shaded histograms) or presence (10 µM) of fluvastatin (open red histograms) and simvastatin (open blue histograms). Surface levels of CD9, CD63, CD81, and the integrin β1 subunit were analyzed by flow cytometry.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) RAW264.7 cells were cultured for 24 h in the absence or presence of increasing concentrations of fluvastatin (Fluv) or simvastatin (Simv). The cells were lysed, and levels of CD9, CD63, and CD81 were examined by immunoblotting. Anti-actin blots show that comparable amounts of protein were loaded in each lane. ( B ) RAW264.7 cells were untreated (-) or cultured in the absence or presence of increasing concentrations of fluvastatin or simvastatin and stimulated for 24 h with 0.1 µg/ml LPS (+). Levels of CD9, CD63, and CD81 were examined by immunoblotting. Note that LPS downregulates CD9 and CD81 in the absence of statins (arrowheads). ( C ) RAW264.7 cells were cultured in the absence (-) or presence of 3 µM fluvastatin (+), and unstimulated (-) or stimulated for 24 h with 1 µg/ml LPS (+). mRNA levels of CD9 and CD81 were examined by reverse transcription PCR. GAPDH is an internal loading control. ( D ) RAW264.7 cells were cultured in the absence or presence of fluvastatin, and unstimulated or stimulated with LPS. Control (Cont) was an untreated culture. mRNA levels of CD9 and CD81 were examined by real-time PCR. Data shown are from one representative of three similar experiments. ( E ) Human monocytic THP-1 cells were treated for 4 h with 1 µg/ml phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, allowed to attach to a plate, and then cultured in the absence or presence of increasing concentrations of simvastatin. Levels of CD9, CD63, and CD81 were examined by immunoblotting. ( F ) Mouse 3T3 fibroblasts were cultured in the absence or presence of increasing concentrations of simvastatin. Levels of CD9, CD63, and CD81 were examined by immunoblotting.
