Aim: To observe the effects of osteoprotegerin(OPG) on the change in number of endothelial cells and nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) , and to explore its significance to influence the proliferation of the endothelial cells.
Method: The conventional culture of immortalized human endothelial cells, with different concentrations OPG (0,0.5,2.0,4.0,6.0,8.0 ug/L) to cultivate cells 48h, then with the cell count kit (CCK-8) to detect the number of cells, immunocytochemical method to detect eNOS protein expressio...
