Figure Lengend Snippet: AEP inhibitor 7,8‐DHF protect HUVECs against oxygen–glucose deprivation by inhibiting tPA‐induced elevated LRP‐1, MMP2, and MMP9. HUVECs treated with 0.5 μM 7,8‐DHF for 24 h followed by OGD 4 h and reoxygen‐glucose plus tPA (500 ng/mL) for another 24 h as the methods part described. (A, B) Western blotting to evaluate the expression of ZO‐1, claudin5, occluding, and JAM‐1. (C) The viability of HUVECs at different time points. (D) AEP enzymatic analysis of HUVECs subjected to 24 h tPA treatment following 7,8‐DHF and OGD. (E, F) Western blotting to evaluate the expression of AEP, p‐TrkB, TrkB, LRP‐1, MMP2, and MMP9. (A) n = 4, (C) n = 6, (D) n = 4, (E) n = 4 per group. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, and statistical analysis is performed using one‐way ANOVA test followed by Tukey's multiple comparisons test when P value of Levene test > 0.05 or Welch test followed by Dunnett T3 multiple comparisons test when the P value of Levene test < 0.05. Normality and variance are assessed via Shapiro‐Wilk test and Levene's test, respectively. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.
