Expression of cell adhesion molecules induced by particles in HUVECs in mono- and co-cultures. A): Dot-plot of flow cytometry analysis showing the expressions of CD54, CD106, and CD62E on HUVECs in mono-and co-cultures exposed to particles for 24 h. B): Bar graph shows CD106 expression, C): CD62E expression, and D) CD54 expression. Untreated HUVECs served as the negative control. Data represent the means ± SEM; n = 3. ##, **p < 0.01, a significant difference between compared groups. (c: control, FeNPs: Fe3O4 particles, SiNPs: SiO2 particles, EC: endothelial cells).
