Figure Lengend Snippet: Re inhibits endothelial cell migration via the PFKFB3-HIF-1α/VEGFA-VEGFR2 signaling pathways. (A) Western blot assay and quantitative analysis of PFKFB3 in HUVECs, n = 3. (B) Cell viability of PFKFB3 overexpressing ECs measured by CCK-8 assay, n = 6. (C) Western blot assay and quantitative analysis of PFKFB3 in HUVECs, n = 3. (D–E) Representative images of HUVEC induced by ox-LDL for 0 h and 12 h in wound healing experiments (bar = 50 μm) and quantification of EC migration, n = 3. (F, G) Western blot assay and quantitative data of VE-cadherin, HIF-1α, VEGFA, and VEGFR2 in HUVECs, n = 3. ### p < 0.001, ## p < 0.01, # p < 0.05, vs. control group; ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗ p < 0.05, vs. ox-LDL group.
Article Snippet: For immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, the primary antibody used was PFKFB3 (Cat. D7H4Q, Cell Signaling Technology Co., Ltd.), and the secondary antibody was Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG(H + C), HRP (Cat. 80800619, Biotech Co., Ltd).
