Wenyang Huazhuo Tongluo Formula and KC7F2 can significantly inhibit the expression of vWF, SELE, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in bleomycin-induced SSc mouse model. The effect of Wenyang Huazhuo Tongluo Formula and KC7F2 on the expression of vWF (A), SELE (B), ICAM-1 (C) and VCAM-1 (D) was observed by immunofluorescence staining. compared with the PBS group, bleomycin can significantly upregulate the expression levels of vWF, SELE, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in endothelial cells, while Wenyang Huazhuo Tongluo Formula and KC7F2 can significantly reverse the bleomycin-induced upregulation of vWF, SELE, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. The mean values ± SD was shown for each bar. * (P < 0.05) or ** (P < 0.01) or *** (P < 0.001) represents significance, ns represents no significance. Original magnification: × 20.
