40 mg/L ox-LDL treatment of HUVECs on the expression of inflammation and autophagy proteins at different times. a Protein expression of LC3II, p62, LOX-1, VCAM1, MCP-1, β-actin in HUVECs. Cells were treated with 40 mg/L ox-LDL respectively for 0 h,12 h, 24 h, 48 h. b, c, d, e, f Bar charts show the mean intensity of every protein quantified and normalized versus β-actin expression. Values are submitted as mean ± S.D. based on seperate experiments in triplicate.(*) P < 0.05, (**) P < 0.01 and (***) P < 0.001 versus 0 h
