Figure Lengend Snippet: Increased TNFRSF21 and TNFSF4 expression in HCAECs in type 2 DM. ( A , B ) TNFRSF21 and TNFSF4 mRNA expression in CAECs from a normal individual and type 2 DM patient ( n = 3). ( C , D ) TNFRSF21 and TNFSF4 mRNA expression in HCAECs treated with NG (5.5 mM) or HG (25 mM) for 24 h ( n = 3). ( E , F ) TNFRSF21 and TNFSF4 mRNA expression in HCAECs treated with BSA (300 μg/mL) or AGE-BSA (300 μg/mL) for 24 h ( n = 3). TNFRSF21 and TNFSF4 mRNA levels were assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). ( G , H ) TNFRSF21 protein expression in the supernatant of HCAECs treated with NG, HG, BSA, and AGE-BSA for 48 h using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The bar graph represents the mean ± S.E.M. * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001 by Student’s t -test. ns: non-significance.
