Aim To investigate the effect of oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) on ten-eleven-translocation 2 (TET2) expression and autophagy in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Methods After treatment with ox-LDL for 24 h, RT-PCR was used to detect mRNA expression of TET2. Western blot was used to detect protein ex- pression of TET2 and autophagic marker Beclin 1 and microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 ( LC3 ). HUVEC were transfected with TEI2 siRNA, and then Beclin 1 and LC3 were detected by using Western blot. Resu...
