Salvianolic Acid A Inhibits OX-LDL Effects on Exacerbating Choroidal Neovascularization via Downregulating CYLD

Figure 6

OX-LDL promotes endothelial tube formation and Sal A impairs this process. (a) HUVEC cells were plated onto matrigel and treated with SFM, OX-LDL (100 mg/L), and OX-LDL + Sal A (50 μM); photographs were taken 6 hours later. Objective lens used was A-Plan 10x/0.25 NA dry (Carl Zeiss Inc.). Experiments were performed as in panel (b), and the cumulative tube length was measured. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM; each experiments was performed in triplicate ( versus the control; ## versus the OX-LDL group).
