Effects of MacCM on cytokine release from human white preadipocytes. Preadipocytes were either cultured alone (control), or with THP-1-MacCM (25%) for 24 h before supernatant collection. a Secreted cytokines were screened by cytokine array. b The results are presented as pixel density relative to the reference controls of the arrays. The concentrations of pro-inflammatory factors c IL-1β, d IL-6, e IL-8, f MCP-1 and g RANTES were also measured by ELISA. Data are shown as mean ± SEM for groups of 6. The results were analyzed using unpaired Student’s t test and confirmed by three independent experiments. A significant difference to control was indicated by ***(p < 0.001)
