Treatment with EEBP inhibited apoptosis in Ox-LDL-stimulated HUVECs at 6 h. (a), Expression of caspase 9, cleaved caspase 9, Bax, Bcl-2, and β-actin in Ox-LDL induced HUVECs. (b), Quantification of relative protein expression quantity in Ox-LDL induced HUVECs at 6 h. (c), Expression of caspase 3, cleaved caspase 3, PARP, cleaved PARP, and β-actin in Ox-LDL induced HUVECs. (d), Quantification of relative protein expression quantity in Ox-LDL induced HUVECs at 6 h (P < 0.05, P < 0.01 vs Ox-LDL, n=3). Data are means ± S.E.M.
