Increased Oxidative Stress Response in Granulocytes from Older Patients with a Hip Fracture May Account for Slow Regeneration

Inverted p38 activation in serum-conditioned HL60 cells in comparison to granulocytes. (a) Representative Western blot for phospho-p38, phospho-ERK1/2, and phospho-JNK in HL60 cells conditioned with serum of young controls (YH), young patients with a fracture of the long bones (YF), elderly controls (OH), and elderly patients with a fracture of the long bones (OF). GAPDH was used as a loading control and for normalization. For intermembrane comparison HEK293T cells (+) were used. Densitometric analysis of all samples (, /group) was performed to determine relative expression levels of (b) phospho-p38, (c) phospho-ERK1/2, and (d) phospho-JNK. , and as determined by one-way ANOVA.
