Effects of propofol on 15 mM glucose-mediated nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signal pathway. (A) Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were cultured in either 5 mM glucose or 15 mM glucose for 4 h with corresponding treatment. (B) Quantification of protein band density of NF-κB (p65) (*p < 0.05 vs. 5 mM glucose, #p < 0.05 vs. 15 mM glucose, n = 5). ■ represents nuclear extract, □ represents cytoplasmic extract. (C) Quantification of protein band density of IκBα (*p < 0.05 vs. 5 mM glucose, #p < 0.05 vs. 15 mM glucose, n = 5). Data were shown as mean ± SD.
