Pinoresinol diglucoside inhibits oxLDL-induced increase of LOX-1, ICAM, and NF-κB expression. (a) The mRNA levels of LOX-1, ICAM1, and NF-κB were analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR. (b) The protein levels of LOX-1 and ICAM were evaluated by western blot. The results of quantitative analysis of ICAM (c) and LOX-1 (d) western blot were shown. Experiments were performed 3 independent times with 3 replications. ∗ p < 0.05 compared to control cells; # p < 0.05 compared to oxLDL-treated cells.
