Cells were not treated or were treated with 10−4 M (for 2 hours) nicotine or cotinine. Expression of adhesion molecules was evaluated by FACS and expressed as means ± SD of the percentage of the gated cell population/mean fluorescence intensity. Data from 2 to 5 independent experiments are presented.

FSC indicates forward light scatter; SSC, side light scatter; VCAM, vascular cell adhesion molecule; BMCs, bone marrow cells; NT, no treatment; NC, nicotine; CN, cotinine; LTBMCs, long-term bone marrow cultures; PBMDMs, primary bone marrow–derived macrophages; PBMDFs, primary bone marrow–derived fibroblasts.
