Exogenous APOD regulates adhesion. Adhesion assays were performed with HDFNs (A) and HAoSMCs (B) on collagen I in the presence OR absence of recombinant human APOD, APOD expression was inhibited by knockdown with siRNA (siAPOD) and compared with control siRNA (siCon) in HDFNs (C) and HAoSMCs (D). Exogenous APOD (10 ng/ml) was added to indicated samples 24 h before performing adhesion assays on collagen I. *P < 0.05.
