Fig. 4From: Factors secreted by monosodium urate crystal-stimulated macrophages promote a proinflammatory state in osteoblasts: a potential indirect mechanism of bone erosion in goutSecretion of proinflammatory mediators from THP-1 monocytes stimulated with MSU crystals. THP-1 monocytes were cultured with MSU crystals for 20 h for preparation of MSU crystal-stimulated and control conditioned media. Concentrations of proinflammatory mediators were determined by ELISA. Means (SEM) of data pooled from three biological repeats are presented. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with post hoc Dunnett’s test. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01, versus control without MSU crystalsBack to article page
