Omentin inhibits TNF-α-induced expression of adhesion molecules in endothelial cells via ERK/NF-κB pathway

► Omentin inhibited TNF-α-induced adhesion of THP-1 cells to HUVECs. ► Omentin reduces expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 induced by TNF-α in HUVECs. ► Omentin inhibits TNF-α-induced ERK and NF-κB activation in HUVECs. ► Omentin supreeses TNF-α-induced expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 via ERK/NF-κB pathway.
