Effect of APOC3 on the mRNA expression levels of TNF-α, JAM-1 in HUVECs according to qRT-PCR. Blank: Untreated HUVECS; APOC3: HUVECs that were incubated with APOC3 (100 μg/ml) for 24 h; APOC3 + siTNF-α: HUVECs that were transfected with TNF-α siRNA before they were incubated with APOC3 (100 μg/ml) for 24 h; APOC3 + siNC: HUVECs that were transfected with blank siRNA before they were incubated with APOC3 (100 μg/ml) for 24 h. Each bar represents the mean ± SE of 3 independent experiments. ** P < 0.01, significantly different from untreated HUVECs; * P < 0.05, significantly different from untreated HUVECs; ## P < 0.01, significantly different from HUVECs incubated with APOC3
