Clopidogrel Protects Endothelium by Hindering TNFα-Induced VCAM-1 Expression through CaMKKβ/AMPK/Nrf2 Pathway

Figure 6

Proposed diagram summarizing the suppression of TNFα-induced inflammation by INN via upregulating HO-1 expression through the CaMKKβ/AMPK/Nrf2 pathway and repressing ROS formation, VCAM-1 expression, and monocyte adhesion. In summary, we have revealed that INN hinders TNFα-induced ROS formation, expression of VCAM-1, and HL-60 cell adhesion by upregulating HO-1 gene expression and elevating GSH levels through the CaMKKβ/AMPK/Nrf2 pathway.
