2. Figure 1
Effect of TNF-α on the adhesion of BEND cells to peritoneal cells. The BEND cells were incubated with TNF-α (5 ng/mL) either alone or in presence of TBP (10 μg/mL) for 72 hours. The BEND cells were fluorescently labeled and allowed to bind to mesothelial cells. Data are mean ± SD, n = 3. ∗P<.05.

3. Figure 2
Dose-dependent effect of TNF-α on BEND cell binding to fibronectin conjugated FITC beads. (A) BEND cells were treated with increasing concentration of TNF-α for 24 hours, followed by the binding of fibronectin beads to BEND cells. (B) TBP dose-dependently inhibited TNF-α–induced the binding of fibronectin beads to BEND cells. Mean ± SD, n = 4. This experiment was repeated three times with similar results.

Effect of IL-17 and IFN-α2 on TNF-α–induced binding of fibronectin to BEND cells. (A) Binding of fibronectin beads to BEND cells in the presence of 15 ng/mL of TNF-α. Dose-dependent inhibition by (B) IL-17, (C) IFN-α2a, and (D) IFN-α2b on TNF-α–induced binding of fibronectin to BEND cells. ∗P<.01 compared with control.

Effect of PDGF subtypes on TNF-α–induced binding of fibronectin to BEND cells. (A) Binding of fibronectin beads to BEND cells in the presence of 15 ng/mL of TNF-α. Dose-dependent effect of (B) PDGF-AA, (C) PDGF-BB, and (D) PDGF-AB on TNF-α–induced binding of fibronectin to BEND cells. ∗P<.01 compared with control.
