Hypoxia prevents loss of endothelial barrier function and VE-cadherin disruption mediated by CA4P. (a) Endothelial cells cultured to confluence in 3 μm pore size filter inserts set in companion 24-well plates were exposed to the indicated oxygen levels for 14 h and then to CA4P (1 μM) for an further 15 min. FITC dextran diffusion through the monolayers during 30 min, was expressed as fold change over control untreated cells maintained in 21% O2.. Results are from 5–7 independent experiments. Data were analysed by one-way Anova followed by a Tukey post-test. Values are means ± SEM (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001). (b) Cells in 21% or 0.1% O2 for 14 h were treated with CA4P as in (a) and then fixed and stained for VE-cadherin.
