Article Title: The effect of anti-HLA class I antibodies on the immunological properties of human glomerular endothelial cells and their modification by mTOR inhibition or GCN2 kinase activation

doi: 10.3892/mmr.2021.11994

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of anti-HLAI on ICAM-1, HLA-DR, CD46 and CD59, and the impact of halofuginone or everolimus treatment. (A) Representative experiment for each of the evaluated factors. (B) Cumulative results are presented. Anti-HLAI antibodies upregulated ICAM-1, HLA-DR, CD46 and CD59. Halofuginone or everolimus treatment decreased ICAM-1. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. *P<0.05 vs. control cells, # P<0.05 vs. anti-HLAI-treated cells, ^ P<0.05 vs. anti-HLAI-treated cells administered halofuginone, + P<0.05 vs. anti-HLAI-treated cells administered everolimus and $ P<0.05 vs. anti-HLAI-treated cells with halofuginone and everolimus. HLAI, human leukocyte antigen class I; ICAM-1, intracellular adhesion molecule-1; Hal, halofuginone; Ever, everolimus; Ctrl, control.
