ANXA5 inhibits monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and HUVECs activation. a Representative images of monocyte (THP-1) adhesion to endothelial cell (HUVEC). HUVECs were pretreated with LPS (0.2 μg/ml) or ANXA5/A5m (250 nM) as indicated, and then incubated with THP-1 cells (labeled with CellTracker in green). Hoechst staining for total cells. b THP-1 cells were induced by LPS (10 ng/ml) and treated with ANXA5 (0–500 nM). TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA were detected by qRT-PCR. c HUVECs were activated by LPS (1 μg/ml) and treated with ANXA5 or A5m at different doses. The levels of cytokines (IL-1β, IL-8, and IL-6) were analyzed by qRT-PCR. d The levels of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 mRNA in LPS-activated HUVECs treated with ANXA5. All data are presented as mean ± SD representative of three independent experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001, #P < 0.05, ####P < 0.0001 versus the corresponding control group according to Student’s t tests
