Effects of Kin on MSU-stimulated HUVECs. (A) The chemical structural formula of Kin. (Ba) Cell viability were measured in Kin-treated HUVECs. (b) Cell viability were measured in HUVECs pre-treated with MSU crystals and stimulated with various concentrations of Kin. (C) Apoptosis rates were analyzed with HUVECs pre-treated with MSU crystals and stimulated with various concentrations of Kin. (D) Expressions of apoptosis-related proteins (Bax, Bcl-2, cleaved caspase-3, caspase-3) were compared in HUVECs pre-treated with MSU crystals and stimulated with various concentrations of Kin. The data are presented as the means±S.D. **P<0.05 compared with 0 μg/ml of Kin. #P<0.05 compared with control. All data were obtained from at least three independent experiments
