Fig. 7From: Expression of MATE1, P-gp, OCTN1 and OCTN2, in epithelial and immune cells in the lung of COPD and healthy individualsDifferential expression of membrane transporters in the THP-1 cell line. Normalized mRNA expression of selected genes, after differentiation into macrophage-like cells, (PMA), or after incubation with media alone (undiff) for 48 h. Expression displayed as fold change, relative to the median expression in all samples. N = 5 samples/stimulation, performed in consecutive experiments. Horizontal lines indicate median, boxes indicate the interquartile range, and whiskers the minimum and maximum values, respectively. Statistics calculated using Mann Whitney non-parametric test. ** < 0.01Back to article page
