From: Ginkgolide B inhibits platelet and monocyte adhesion in TNFα-treated HUVECs under laminar shear stress

Fig. 1

Ginkgolide B reduced platelet adhesion in TNFα-treated HUVECs under different conditions of laminar shear stress. HUVECs were incubated with ginkgolide B (0.6 mg/ml) or aspirin (1 mM) for 12 h, and then TNFα (20 ng/ml) was added for another 2 h. The platelet suspension was then added to the input well under conditions of 1 and 9 dyn/cm2 of laminar shear stress for 45 min. The data were obtained from three independent experiments. a Ginkgolide B decreased the number of platelets that adhered to TNFα-treated HUVECs at 1 and 9 dyn/cm2. b Platelet adhesion to HUVECs. ##p < 0.01, significant difference between TNFα-treated and -untreated HUVECs. **p < 0.01, significant difference between TNFα-treated cells and ginkgolide B- and aspirin-treated cells
