Human β-Defensin 3 Reduces TNF-α-Induced Inflammation and Monocyte Adhesion in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

Figure 1

Effects of hBD3 on TNF-α-induced cell death. HUVECs were treated with TNF-α (40 ng/mL) and various concentrations of hBD3 for 24 h. The cell viability of HUVECs was determined with a CCK8 assay according to the instructions of manufacturers. Data are presented as the survival rate compared to the control group, which is defined as 100%. Values represent the means ± SD (). compared with the control group. , compared with TNF-α group.
