did not reach statistical significancep = 0.9156
Although the comparison between the LPS-exposed M1MΦs and 1% DMSO-treated M1MΦs did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.9156), the potential cytotoxicity of LPS compared with 1% DMSO was indicated by the effect size ( r = 0.8449). 3.3 The effect of LPS-exposed M1MΦ secretions on TEER and monocyte adhesion and migration To confirm our VoC model replicates monocyte migration induced by inflammatory activated M1MΦs, HCAECs were exposed to LPS-conditioned medium for 24 h to mimic inflammatory conditions in the vasculature of patients with atherosclerosis.
