(A) EFEMP1 overexpressing (EFEMP1-OE) and (B) EFEMP1 knockdown HUVEC establishment and verification. High-content imaging visualization of HUVECs transfected with GFP-labelled GV492-EFEMP1/GV248-shEFEMP1 vectors was shown. qRT-PCR results of EFEMP1 relative mRNA levels showed a significant increase in GV492-EFEMP1-transfected HUVECs compared with that in GV492-CON335-transfected HUVECs and a significant decrease in GV248-shEFEMP1-transfected HUVECS compared with that in GV492-CON077-transfected HUVECs (**p < 0.01). EFEMP1 protein levels in the four HUVEC groups were tested using western blotting. EFEMP1 protein expression in GV492-EFEMP1-transfected HUVECs increased significantly compared with that in control CON335 and decreased in GV248-shEFEMP1-transfected HUVECS compared with that in control CON077 (**p < 0.01).
