Effects of glucose on adhesion molecules expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). (A) HUVECs were cultured in different concentrations of glucose (5, 10, 15, 20, 30 mM) for 4 hours. (B) HUVECs were cultured in 5 mM or 15 mM glucose for different times (1, 2, 4, 8 h). (C, D) Quantification of protein band density of adhesion molecules (*p < 0.05 vs. 5 mM glucose, n = 5). Data were expressed as mean ± SD. ■ represents E-selectin, ░ represents ICAM-1, □ represents VCAM-1.
