Validation of cell line as endothelial cells. (A) expression of ERG, CDH5, and vWF by immunoflourescence, and uptake of AcLDL; (B) assessment of novel LPS genes after treatment of primary HPMECs (n = 3) and HPMEC line (n = 4) with LPS for 6 h (p values determined by one-sample, two-tailed Student’s t test); and (C) assessment of angiogenesis or vasculogenesis genes after treatment of primary HPMECs (n = 3) and HPMEC line (n = 5) with LPS for 24 h (p values determined by one-sample, two-tailed Student’s t test; all data were normally distributed except 24 h primary HPMEC LRG1 which was assessed with one-sample Wilcoxon signed rank test). Data presented at mean ± standard deviation. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 between LPS-treated and saline control baseline.
