(A) HAoSMC MMP-2 protein expression (n=6). Transfection of HAoSMCs with TSP-2 siRNA does not affect MMP-2 levels. Conditioned media, collected from cultures inhabited by HAoSMCs before conducting the cell attachment assay, were measured for MMP-2 concentration using ELISA. (B) HAoSMC TSP-2 protein expression (n=6). Conditioned media, collected from cultures inhabited by HAoSMCs before conducting the cell attachment assay, were measured for TSP-2 concentration using ELISA. Taken together with results from Figure VI-A, TSP-2 gene silencing does not affect MMP-2 concentration.
