Effect of nucleolin (NCL) knockdown on HB-19 biological actions. Down-regulation of nucleolin (NCL) mRNA (A) and protein (B) using specific siRNA targeting nucleolin mRNA. Effect of HB-19 (10μΜ) on proliferation (C) and adhesion (D) of HUVECs. The last two bars of each diagram indicate HUVECs that were transiently transfected with siRNA targeting nucleolin (NCL). Results are expressed as % change relative to control and are mean values ± SE from at least 3 independent experiments.
