Inhibitory role of Cbl in HUVEC apoptosis through Runx3-mediated JAK2/STAT4 signaling pathway. A Western blot analysis of expression of Cbl, JAK2, p-JAK2, STAT4, p-STAT4 and Runx3 in HUVECs upon treatment with HG + oe-NC, HG + oe-Cb1 + oe-NC, or HG + oe-Cb1 + oe-Runx3. B Quantification of NO content in HUVECs upon treatment with HG + oe-NC, HG + oe-Cbl + oe-NC, or HG + oe-Cbl + oe-Runx3 using Griess method. C eNOS protein level in HG-induced HUVECs determined by Western blot analysis. D Flow cytometry of apoptosis of HUVECs and corresponding quantification upon treatment with HG + oe-NC, HG + oe-Cbl + oe-NC, or HG + oe-Cb1 + oe-Runx3. * p < 0.05 vs. the HG + oe-NC group and # p < 0.05 vs. the HG + oe-Cbl + oe-NC group. Data were measurement data, and presented as mean ± standard deviation. Data among groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. Experiment was repeated three times independently
