Identification of soluble factors released to conditioned media by microglia, BMMSC, and cocultures. (a) Expressions of 29 rat cytokines in the conditioned media. Spots of TIMP-1 (red square) and VEGF (green square) were found to change among treatments. (b) Histogram showing the fold changes of TIMP-1 and VEGF among treatments. (c) Western blot analysis of TIMP-1 and VEGF released in the 24 hrs conditioned medium of all cultures. The Ponceau-S staining (red) of IgG was used as an internal control. (d) Histogram showing the amounts, in μg/mL, of the TIMP-1 as quantified by ELISA. Determinations were means ± SEM from coculture media subjected to ELISA experiments. , compared to M group.
