Both MCs (a, c) and MGECs (b, d) were treated with or without Ang-II for 48 h. GYY (GYY4137) was added 1 h prior to the Ang-II treatment. MMP-13 protein (~53 kDa) and gene expressions of were determined by Western blot and RT-PCR, respectively (a, b). GAPDH was used as a loading control. Data are presented as mean ±SEM, n = 9 independent experiments / group. *p <0.05 vs control, p <0.05 vs Ang-II. Scale bar, 20 μm, magnification 60 X. (c, d) cells were immunostained against MMP-13 (red), and nuclei counterstained with DAPI (blue). (e) and (f) summarized data of MMP-13 expression as observed in immunostaining of MCs and MGECs, respectively. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n=9 independent experiments / group. *p <0.05 vs control, †p <0.05 vs Ang-II.
