Fig. 1 Time and dose effects of ox-LDL on MCP-1 mRNA expression. HACs were incubated with 50g/ml IL-1β, 50μg/ml ox-LDL, or 50μg/ml n-LDL, and MCP-1 mRNA expression was investigated by Real time PCR at the indicated times (A). HACs were incubated with the indicated concentration of IL-1β, n-LDL or ox-LDL for 12h, and MCP-1 mRNA expression was investigated by Real time PCR (B). Cells preincubated with 40μg/ml anti-human LOX-1 mAb (TS92) or non-specific IgG for 30min were also stimulated with ox-LDL. Relative quantity of MCP-1 mRNA was calculated by the delta–delta Ct method. Error bars indicate SDs (n=3).

Fig. 2 Time and dose effects of ox-LDL on MCP-1 protein level. MCP-1 protein level was determined by ELISA of conditioned medium. Time dependent increases in MCP-1 level were observed when cells were incubated with 50pg/ml IL-1β or 50μg/ml ox-LDL (A). HACs were incubated with the indicated concentration of IL-1β, n-LDL or ox-LDL for 24h (B). Cells preincubated with anti-human LOX-1 mAb (TS92) or non-specific IgG for 30min were also stimulated with ox-LDL. Error bars indicate SDs (n=5).
