Figure 8From: Enhancement of proinflammatory and procoagulant responses to silica particles by monocyte-endothelial cell interactions The expression of cytokines, CAMs and TF in HUVECs and THP-1 cells treated with the supernatants of SiO 2 -particle-stimulated cells. A): IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 release; B): Expression of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) in HUVECs treated by the supernatants of SiO2-particle-stimulated THP-1 cells; C): TNF-α and IL-1β release; D) TF expression in THP-1 cells treated by the supernatants of SiO2-particle-stimulated HUVECs. Data represent the means ± SEM; n = 3. **p < 0.01, a significant difference between compared groups. (SiNPs: SiO2 particles, EC: endothelial cells).Back to article page
