Similarly, PTPL1-knockdown HUVECs showed much higher NF-κB activity and Snail levels than control cells in response to treatment with IL-1β (Fig. 2i) . To validate NF-κB activation in vivo, The relative mRNA levels of the endothelial markers CD31 and CD144 and the mesenchymal markers α-SMA and SM-22-α in control and IL-1βtreated HUVECs were assessed by qRT-PCR (each bar represents the mean ± SEM. The results showed that PTPL1 levels were lower in the pulmonary arterial endothelial cells of PH patients than in control lung cancer patients (Fig. 5h) . In this study, we found that PTPL1 could inhibit IL-1β-induced EnMT in HUVECs, and knockdown of PTPL1 could activate NF-κB signaling and increase the level of Snail. ./cache/cord-012767-h5gv9g62.txt ./txt/cord-012767-h5gv9g62.txt
