Figure 2. Strain differences in VSMC proliferation.

Figure 2

A. By MTS assay, C57BL/6 VSMCs have higher proliferation rates compared to 129 VSMCs, # p = 0.09 at 24hr, * p ≤ 0.03 at 48 and 72 hr. B. By BrdU assay, differences in cell proliferation between strains were detected as early as 2 hr, * p = 0.01, # p = 0.001. VSMCs were obtained from aortas from 3 separate mice from each strain. Cell proliferation assays were done using serum, performed in triplicates, and repeated 4 times in separate experiments. Cell passages between 1–3 were used and matched between strains.
