HMC05, Herbal Formula, Inhibits TNF-α-Induced Inflammatory Response in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells
Figure 3
Inhibitory effects of HMC05 and berberine on TNF-α-induced protein expression of adhesion molecules, VCAM-1 (a) and ICAM-1 (b), in HUVECs. Serum-starved HUVECs were treated with HMC05 and berberine in the absence or presence of TNF-α (10 ng ml−1) for 3 h. After fixation with methanol, immunocytochemical analysis was performed as described in ‘Materials and methods’ section. The result shown is a representative of three independent experiments.
