IL-17 induces expression of VCAM-1 in SMCs. SMCs were treated with IL-17 (10–50ng/ml) for 12 hours. The VCAM-1 in whole cell extracts was identified by Western blots. Actin was used as equal loading. Western blots showed that IL-17 induces VCAM-1 expression (A), which is consistent with RT-PCR results that IL-17 promote VCAM-1 mRNA expression in SMCs (B). In addition, IL-17 is able to induce VCAM-1 expression in human aortic smooth muscle cells (C). The data is presented as the mean ± SE from three independent experiments. *, P < 0.05.
