Inhibition of PCSK9 suppresses MLE-12 cell migration ability and fibrotic changes (A) Activity of cell migration was measured by wound healing assay and its quantified data, (B) migration distance and (C) migration area. (D) Representative immunofluorescent staining with αSMA and COL1A1 for MLE-12 cell. (E) Relative immunofluorescent intensity of αSMA and (F) COL1A1 in immunofluorescent images. (G) Typical western blot snapshots of αSMA and COL1A1. (H) Statistical analysis of the protein expression level of αSMA and (I) COL1A1 were observed and measured by western blot and its quantified data. **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 versus CON group. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 and ###p < 0.001 versus TGF-β group. &p < 0.05 versus 5 μM SBC-115076 group. ns, no significance versus 10 μM SBC-115076 group.
