Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC)-specific marker gene mRNA expression in cultured VSMC. VSMC isolated from the thoracic aorta were incubated on plates covered with 20 µg/ml laminin in DMEM-Ham's F12 50:50 mixture medium supplemented with 2 ng/ml IGF for various periods. The 0-day sample represents freshly isolated VSMC dissociated from the mouse body using a procedure lasting approximately 2 h. Values are means ± SEM for 3 replicates. *Denotes significant difference relative to preceding time point (P<0.05).
