Figure 2. Curcumin regulates caveolin-MAPK signaling in VSMCs treated by Chol:MßCD.

Figure 2

VSMCs were treated as indicated for 48 h. The expression of phospho-ERK1/2, total ERK1/2, β-actin and caveolin were detected by western blot analysis (30μg protein /lane), and then the densities were quantitated and shown in the bar graph (A). Values are expressed as Mean ± SEM (n=3). #p < 0.01 vs Control; *p < 0.01 vs Chol:MßCD. The localization of phospho-ERK1/2 (red) was determined by immunofluorescence, and nuclear staining by DAPI is blue (B).
