Gal‐3 increases the expression of integrin β1, GTP‐RhoA and p‐JNK in ox‐LDL induced HUVECs. After exposure to Gal‐3, ox‐LDL or their combination, the expression of integrin β1 was detected by IF, (a) WB was used to measure the protein levels of integrin β1, RhoA, JNK, GTP‐RhoA, and p‐JNK (b). The relative protein expression was further indicated using histograms (c). **p < 0.01, ^## p < 0.01 [Color figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com]
