ART counteracted IFNα triggered MIF production in HUVECs. HUVECs were stimulated by 1000 U/ml IFNα-1b for 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours (A), and then cultured with different concentrations of IFN-1b (200 U/ml, 1000 U/ml, 2000 U/ml) for 24 hours (B) to detect supernatant MIF levels. Next, HUVECs were cultured with the presence of 1000 U/ml IFN-1b for 24 hours, and treated with ART or dexamethasone (DEX) for another 12 and 24 hours (C, D). Data were present as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
