Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Ferula assafoetida Oleo-Gum-Resin (Asafoetida) against TNF-α-Stimulated Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs)

Figure 4

The outcome of EEA upon on surface expression of ICAM-1 in TNF-α-stimulated HUVECs by flow cytometry. At first, HUVECs were treated with or without Assafoetida (125 and 250 μg/ml) for 6 h, and after that, activated with TNF-α (20 ng/ml) for 12 h. TNF-α increases ICAM-1 expression, but Assafoetida inhibits its expression explicitly. The parameters are reported as the for at least three separate experiments. compared with the control and TNF-α-treated groups.
