AMPK was involved in the metformin-induced cell proliferation and apoptosis of HG-incubated HUVECs. (A) CCK8 assay in HUVECs treated with NG, HG (33.3 mmol/l), HG + MET (0.01 mmol/l), and HG + MET + CC (10 μM) conditions. (B) BrdU incorporation assay in HUVECs treated with NG, HG, HG + MET, and HG + MET + CC. (C) Annexin V-PI assay in HUVECs treated with NG, HG, HG + MET, and HG + MET + CC. The histograms represent the apoptosis rates in the four groups. (D) Representative photographs of TUNEL staining in the different groups. The results are expressed as the means ± SD. p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01; one-way ANOVA.
