Levels of intracellular ROS and effect of antioxidants on IVIG-induced HUVEC apoptosis. (a) After the HUVECs were stimulated with or without TNF-α (100 ng/ml) for 6 h, the cells were incubated in the presence and absence of IVIG (20 mg/ml) for 6 h. Thereafter, the HUVECs were exposed to DCF-DA and were observed under confocal laser microscopy. (b) After HUVECs were stimulated with or without TNF-α (100 ng/ml) for 6 h, the cells were treated with NAC (30 mm) and catalase (250 U/ml) for 1 h, followed by the incubation with IVIG (20 mg/ml) for 36 h. The control indicates no treatment with NAC or catalase. *P < 0·05 versus control. □, Control; Inline graphic, NAC; ■, catalase; Inline graphic, NAC + catalase.
