Figure 2.

Effect of βARKct expression on VSM cell proliferation. Cultured VSM cells cultured from rat aorta were infected with either the βARKct adenovirus or an empty virus, and [³H]thymidine incorporation was measured after replacement of serum (5% FBS) to quiescent cells. Data shown represent the mean ± SEM of five experiments done in triplicate. ∗, P < 0.05 βARKct vs. empty virus (repeated-measurements ANOVA with a grouping factor).
