Effects of Se on the gene expressions of CCN2 (A), TGFB1 (B), TGFB3 (C), and VEGFA (D) in BEECs. The cells were treated with LPS or Se (4 µM) or co-treated with LPS and Se (1, 2 and 4 µM). #, P < 0.05, ##, P < 0.01 and ##, P < 0.001 vs. the control group; *, P < 0.05, **, P < 0.01 and ***, P < 0.001 vs. the LPS group. All data were presented as the means ± SEM
