Upregulated cytokines found in the media taken from HEKa scratch experiments with SVF cells in the transwell inserts, as compared to HEKa-alone controls. A scatter plot showing measured concentrations in the media, blue represents HEKa cells with SVF in transwell inserts and red represents HEKa cells alone control. Of the 11 upregulated cytokines shown, 5 have shown to be statistically significant as compared to control, and the remaining 6 are statistically trending towards significance (0.1 < p < 0.05). Data represented as Mean ± SEM; N = 3; *=p< 0.05, ***=P < 0.001. B STRING protein network of the 11 cytokines found to be unregulated in the analysed media with C receptors for the cytokines added; connections defined as following: yellow lines = textmining, light blue lines = from curated database, violet lines = experimentally determined, black lines = co-expression
