[Retracted] Albiflorin Alleviates Ox-LDL-Induced Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cell Injury through IRAK1/TAK1 Pathway

Figure 3

IRAK1 overexpression prominently reversed the influences of AF on viability, inflammation, and cholesterol efflux in Ox-LDL-induced HUVECs. Ox-LDL-treated HUVECs were treated with 100 μM AF or/and IRAK1-overexpressed plasmid, respectively. , , and compared with the control group; ^#, ^##, and ^### compared with the Ox-LDL group; ^$, ^$$, and ^$$$ compared with the Ox-LDL+AF-H group. (a) Cell viability was confirmed through CCK-8 in the treated HUVECs. (b) Changes in IL-6 and TNF-α levels were monitored by ELISA kits in each group; compared with the control group; ^# compared with the Ox-LDL+AF-H group; ^$ compared with the control group. (c) Cholesterol efflux was certified with the kit in each group.
