APOD is partially downregulated in mural cells by an endothelial cell-derived secreted factor. A: HUVECs and HDFNs were plated on either side of a Transwell insert as indicated, cultured for 48 h, and the top chamber was harvested for qPCR to examine APOD mRNA expression. B: conditioned media from HDFNs or HUVECs were incubated with HDFNs for 24 or 48 h and cells were harvested to measure APOD RNA expression. *P < 0.05.
