The Effects of Pitavastatin on Nuclear Factor-Kappa B and ICAM-1 in Human Saphenous Vein Graft Endothelial Culture

Figure 1

Immunofluorescent staining images of ICAM-1 and NF-κB in the endothelial culture treated with 0.1 μM pitavastatin and the conclusions of two images. 20X magnification. ICAM-1, intercelluler adhesion molecule-1; NF-κB, nuclear factor-kappa B; PTV1, low-dose pitavastatin (0.1 μM / L); PTV1 + TNF-α, low-dose pitavastatin (0.1 μM / L) + tumor necrosis- alpha (10 ng / mL); TNF-α, tumor necrosis-alpha (10 ng / mL); DMSO, dimethyl sulfoxide.
