Effect of Cx43 overexpression on the proliferation of VSMCs. After transfection with pcDNA™3.1- Cx43 and empty vector, VSMCs were treated with Ang II (10−7 mol/L) for 24 h. (A) BrdU incorporation into VSMC was increased by Cx43 overexpression or Ang II stimulation. (B) Cell number of VSMC was significantly increased by Cx43 overexpression or Ang II stimulation. Values are mean± SE for three independent experiments. §P<0.01 compared with control group.
