Epithelium-Specific Ets-Like Transcription Factor 1, ESE-1, Regulates ICAM-1 Expression in Cultured Lung Epithelial Cell Lines

Figure 4

Cell adhesion assay of the effect of ESE-1 knocking down on HL-60 binding to A549 cells. (a) Images showing HL-60 cells attached to A549 cells at 40x magnification. (b) Quantification of cell binding. The average number of HL-60 cells per field was compared among groups with ESE-1 knocking down or C4HSU empty vector transfection or nontransfected groups with or without cytokine stimulation (TNF-α and IL-1β at 10 ng/mL each). Cell numbers were counted under a microscope and data from six wells were presented as mean ± SD, .
