Macrophage Differentiation from Monocytes Is Influenced by the Lipid Oxidation Degree of Low Density Lipoprotein

Figure 1

Effects of oxLDL on granularity, autofluorescence, and proliferation. THP-1 cells were treated with differentially oxidized LDL (50 μg/mL) for 24, 48, or 96 h. (a) Granularity and (b) autofluorescence were measured by flow cytometer. (c) Cell proliferation was assessed by CCK-8 assay. Data represent means ± S.E. of three independent experiments. One-way ANOVA analysis was used to determine significance (, , and ).
