Cell adhesion and Cx43 expression were both increased in HUVECs isolated from pregnant women with GDM. (A) Cell adhesion was detected by THP-1 cells (green). (B) ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 protein expression in GDM-HUVECs (GDM) and normal HUVECs (N). (C,D) Cx43 protein expression in GDM-HUVECs and normal HUVECs. In all experiments, data are presented as mean ± SEM; n=9 per group, *, P<0.05 vs. normal. Scale bar in A and D: ×200 and ×400. Cx43, Connexin 43; HUVECs, human umbilical vein endothelial cells; GDM, gestational diabetes mellitus; ICAM-1, intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1; VCAM-1, vascular cell adhesion protein 1.
