A custom cytokine array from RayBiotech (Georgia, USA) was used to examine proteins cardiotrophin 1 (CT-1), platelet-derived growth factor homodimer (PDGF-BB), interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1beta), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGFA), interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-10, C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 18 (CCL18), C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 22 (CCL22), Matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9), C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 17 (CCL17), interleukin 4 (IL-4), interleukin 13 (IL-13) in media surrounding monocytes pooled throughout 21 days of culture (n=3). A mixture of hMSC and RPMI media on monocytes was used as a control. Media was pooled from equal volumes at each timepoint to create a total volume of 1mL for each membrane (days 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21). Cytokines were detected using a LAS 4010 luminescent image analyzer (GE Healthcare, New Jersey, USA), and membranes were normalized to each other using positive spots and analyzed with ImageJ. Samples of hMSC conditioned media were subtracted from monocyte conditioned media to quantify the cytokines released only by the monocytes. After subtraction, both hMSC conditioned media and monocyte conditioned media were normalized to the control media containing RPMI and hMSC media without conditioning to obtain a fold change.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
