“…In the present study, we first demonstrated that TNF-α decreased endothelial ANXA1 in vitro and in vivo, which may help researchers clarify why ANXA1 exists in control EMPs while not in TNF-α EMPs. In addition, accumulated studies reported that Annexin A5 (ANXA5), another member of annexin superfamily, exerted athero-protective roles through inhibiting pro-inflammatory effects, vascular protective effects and induction of T-cell activation, which played key roles in the development of CVD [27][28][29]. This work indicated that HDL significantly reversed the trend of TNF-α d6ecreasing ANXA1 in endothelial cells, inhibiting monocyte-endothelial cells adhesion.…”
