Effects of frog skin AMPs on lipid metabolism in ox-LDL induced foam cells. Gene expression of membrane proteins involved in ox-LDL uptake and cholesterol efflux by real-time quantitative PCR in foaming THP-1 cells (A,B) and GAPDH was used as an internal reference; Expression of proteins involved in ox-LDL uptake and cholesterol efflux by Western blot in foaming RAW264.7 cells (C–E) and ATP1A1 was used as an internal reference; Flow cytometry analysis of CD36 expression in foaming THP-1 cells (F,G). *p < 0.05 vs. the ctrl group. # p < 0.05 vs. the ox-LDL group.
