AgNPs rather than CuNPs stress impaired the expression of transcription factors E2F7 and E2F8 in HUVECs. A RT-PCR expression analysis of genes E2F7, E2F8, CCBE1, VEGFC, and FLT4 in CuNPs- and AgNPs-stressed HUVECs relative to their expression in the control cells. B Protein levels of E2F7 and E2F8 in the control, AgNPs- and CuNPs-stressed HUVECs (B1, B2), and quantitative analysis of protein level in cells from the three groups (B3, B4). C A-B legend. Data are mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. NS, not significant
