Omentin-1 Ameliorated Free Fatty Acid-Induced Impairment in Proliferation, Migration, and Inflammatory States of HUVECs

Figure 3

Omentin-1 inhibited the PA-induced inflammatory state of HUVEC. IκBα and NF-κB protein expression levels in HUVECs from different groups were detected with western blotting (a) using tubulin as loading control. Quantitative analysis of proteins expression is shown in the right bar graph. (b) Representative images of cellular fluorescence assay for NF-κB (400x magnification) and the quantitative analysis of fluorescence intensity per cell. (c) The mRNA expression levels of IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α in HUVECs from different treatment groups using RT-qPCR. The values are mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. vs. PA group, vs. PA group, and vs. PA group.
