Figure 4. Upregulation of mmu_circ_0015268 promoted endothelial dysfunction in vivo and in vitro. (A) Representative blot results showing the levels of BAX, BCL2, Caspase3, cleaved PARP1, E-selectin, ICAM1, VCAM1, P120-catenin, β-catenin, and E-cadherin in lung tissues. (B) PMLECs were transfected with mmu_circ_0015268 overexpressing vector (OV) or mmu_circ_0015268 shRNA (shRNA), followed by LPS stimulation. Representative blot results showing the levels of BAX, BCL2, Caspase3, cleaved PARP1, E-selectin, intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1), vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM1), P120-catenin, β-catenin, and E-cadherin in PMLECs. (C, D) Immunofluorescence intensities of ICAM1 and VCAM1 in vivo and in vitro for different groups.
