Figure 3. CTGF enhances the levels of Bcl-2 protein in HMCs.

Figure 3

Serum-starved HMCs were incubated in the presence or absence of 20 ng/ml r-CTGF for the periods of time indicated, after which the cells were lysed. (A) Equal amounts of lysate protein were subjected to SDS/PAGE and analysed by Western blotting using anti-Bcl-2 antibody. Membranes were stripped and reprobed with an anti-β-actin antibody to control for sample loading. (B) Densitometric analysis of Bcl-2 expression from three separate experiments. Results shown are means±S.E.M.
