doi: 10.1016/j.crmeth.2024.100846
Figure Lengend Snippet: IFN-γ stimulation, not aging, hinders human monocyte chemotaxis through complex pathways (A) Schematic showing the chemotactic maze with several decision-making forks. (B) Representative time-lapse confocal microscopy imaging of monocytes (cell membrane, green; nuclei, blue) in the chemotactic maze primed with 100 nM CCL2 chemokine. Scale bar, 10 μm. (C) The number of migrating monocytes in the presence of CCL2 gradient or evenly distributed chemokine ( n = 6 independent MAP chips). (D–G) Quantification of normalized monocyte migration (D), track duration (E), track length (F), and migration velocity (G) in response to 100 nM CCL2 chemokine for 19- to 27-year-old ( n = 3–5) and 50- to 60-year-old ( n = 6) donors. (H–K) Quantification of normalized monocyte migration (H), track duration (I), track length (J), and migration velocity (K) in response to 100 nM CCL2 chemokine for unstimulated ( n = 17–18 donors), GM-CSF-stimulated ( n = 8 donors), and IFN-γ-stimulated ( n = 8 donors) monocytes from deidentified donors. (L–O) Quantification of normalized monocyte migration (L), track duration (M), track length (N), and migration velocity (O) in response to 100 nM CCL5 chemokine for unstimulated ( n = 8 donors), GM-CSF-stimulated ( n = 7–8 donors), and IFN-γ-stimulated ( n = 8 donors) monocytes from deidentified donors. p values are from Mann-Whitney test (C), Welch’s t test (D–G), Brown-Forsythe and Welch ANOVA tests (H and L), Kruskal-Wallis test (I, J, M, and N), and one-way ANOVA (K and O). Boxplots show the median and the range between the 25th and 75th percentiles. The whiskers stretch from the minimum and maximum values.
