TXL restored ZO-1, occludin, and claudin1 expression in ox-LDL-treated HUVECs. HUVECs were treated with ox-LDL (120 μg/mL) for 24 h, prior to treatment with TXL (200 μg/mL) for another 4 h, with or without incubation with PD98059 (20 μM) for 0.5 h. Immunofluorescent staining detection of ZO-1 (a), occludin (b), and claudin1 (c) expression.
