Figure 3 MLKL was involved in THP-1 cell adhesion to HUVECs. (A–D) HUVECs were transfected with siRNA-NC or siRNA-MLKL for 24 h, and then cultured together with CFSE-labeled THP-1 cells for 4 h. The number of adherent monocytes was evaluated by fluorescence microscopy. (A, C) Representative images for adherence of THP-1 cells to transfected HUVECs. (B, D) Column charts show the fold differences in THP-1 cell adhesion to transfected HUVECs after standardization against the corresponding controls. Experiments were repeated 3 times. Values are the mean of 3 replicates. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01 vs. Control.
