DMA decreases AGE-induced inflammation through RAGE in macrophage-endothelial cocultures. (a) Protein expression by Western blot. HUVECs at the lower compartment of the Boyden chamber were incubated with medium, 500 μg/mL AGEs, or AGEs for 48 hrs. Total cell lysates were obtained by lysis in RIPA buffer containing protease inhibitors. β-Actin served as a control. (b) Fold changes were quantified with ImageJ software. vs. control; ### vs. AGE treatment.
