Effects of propofol on adhesion molecules expression in hyperglycemic human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). (A) HUVECs were pre-incubated with different concentrations (5, 10, 20, and 40uM) of propofol for 30 min, followed by glucose treatment. (B) Quantification of protein band density of adhesion molecules (*p < 0.05 vs. 5 mM glucose, #p < 0.05 vs. 15 mM glucose, n = 5). (C) HUVECs were pre-incubated with 10uM propofol for 30 min, followed by 5 mM glucose treatment. (D) Quantification of protein band density of adhesion molecules (*p < 0.05 vs. 5 mM glucose, #p < 0.05 vs. 15 mM glucose, n = 5). Data were expressed as mean ± SD. ■ represents E-selectin, ░ represents ICAM-1, □ represents VCAM-1.
