Figure 1From: High glucose-induced apoptosis in human coronary artery endothelial cells involves up-regulation of death receptorsEffects of high glucose on expression of the inflammatory marker vWF and TUNEL staining-apoptosis in HCAECs. Cells were treated with 16.7 mM glucose for 24 h. Endothelial cell apoptosis was labeled by the TUNEL reaction (green). vWF (red) and isolectin B4 (turquoise) were visualized by fluorescence microscopy. Isolectin B4 was used as a marker for endothelial cells. Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst (blue).Back to article page
