Knock down of endogenous DSCR1 induces expression of inflammatory markers on activated endothelial cells. (A) FACS analysis of HUVECs transiently cotransfected with an expression vector encoding for GFP and siDSCR1, siNFATc1, or siControl siRNA. Cells were analyzed for cell surface expression of TF, VCAM-1, and E-selectin on GFP+ cells 4 hours after stimulation with PMA/IO or control treatment (NA). (B) FACS analysis of HUVECs stimulated with VEGF and analyzed for expression of TF (4 hours), VCAM-1 (20 hours), and E-selectin (20 hours). Data shown correspond to one representative set of 3 independent experiments.
