Figure 3. Effect of AMPK deletion on adhesion molecule expression and IκB stability.

Figure 3

Lung endothelial cells from AMPKα2-/- mice or their wild-type (+/+) littermates were treated with either IL-1β (10 ng/mL) or LPS (10 ng/mL) in the absence (or presence of DETA-NO (100 µmol/L, 24 hours) for 6 hours. Surface protein expression of (A) E-selectin and (B) VCAM-1 were determined by FACS analysis. The bar graphs summarize the results of data obtained in 4 independent experiments; ***P<0.001 versus Sol-treated cells, §§P<0.01, §§§P<0.001 and ††P<0.01.
