Figure 5: Pre-treated human aortic smooth muscle cells with inhibitor of autophagy 3-MA (10 mM) prior to stimulating the cells with Ang II, then the expression of the contractile and synthetic proteins were detected by western blot. Quantification of smooth muscle a-actin and OPN were tested (n=5). *P<0.05 compared with untreated cells. |
