Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Pomegranate Peel Extract in THP-1 Cells Exposed to Particulate Matter PM10

Figure 4

Effects of PPE on the adhesion of PM10-treated THP-1 monocytes to cells to EA.hy926 endothelial cells. THP-1 cells were treated with PM10 in the absence or presence of PPE, followed by incubation for 24 h. The treated monocytes were fluorescence-labeled and coincubated with EA.hy926 endothelial cells to monitor cell-cell adhesion. Fluorescing monocytes adhered on the endothelial cells were observed under a microscope (a) and quantified fluorometrically (b). Data are expressed as percentages of the control value. Data are means ± SEs (). .
