ATF2 inhibition represses the M1 polarization of HMC3 cells. (A-B) ATF2 protein level in HMC3 cells transfected with sh-ATF2. (C-D) ATF2 protein expression in KA-induced HMC3 cells transfected with sh-ATF2. Flow cytometry was performed to access cell ratio of M1 microphage CD80 (E-F), IL-1β (G-H) and M2 microphage marker CD206 (I-J), CD163 (K-L). ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01, ^***P < 0.001.
