Effect of Pg -FET on MMP-9 secretion (panel A) and mRNA levels (panel B) in THP-1 cells stimulated with Hz. Pg-FET (50-100 μg/ml) antagonized the increase of Hz-induced MMP-9 secretion by 78% and 95%, respectively (Panel A), and the mRNA levels of 92% and 97%, respectively (Panel B). All experiments were reproduced at least three times. Statistical analyses were performed with GraphPad Prism 5 software, using 1-way ANOVA test followed by Bonferroni's post hoc test. The significance was indicated as *** p < 0.001.
