[Retracted] Hyperglycemia Induces Toll-Like Receptor-2 and -4 Expression and Activity in Human Microvascular Retinal Endothelial Cells: Implications for Diabetic Retinopathy

Figure 4

High glucose induced cell adhesion: HMVRECs were incubated and treated with 5.5, 15, and 25 mM glucose and mannitol as described in Methods and legend of Figure 1. Thereafter cell supernatants were collected for ELISA. Adhesion assay is described in Methods section. (a) Increased ICAM-1 levels with HG. versus controls and versus controls, (b) increased sVCAM-1 levels with HG. versus controls; (c) cell adhesion assay showing increased cell adhesion with HG. versus control.
