FGF-2 increases endothelial cell TNFα-induced cell death in a dose dependent manner. Endothelial cells cultured in 5 mM glucose supplemented media were given fresh media with 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, or 10 ng/ml FGF-2. After 48 h, 5 ng/ml TNFα was added. Floating dead cells were counted 24 h after TNFα addition. Data shown is one representative experiment of three, n = 3. P < 0.0001 by ANOVA.
