Effect of high glucose on VSMC proliferation in the coculture model. VECs were pretreated with high glucose concentration (35.5 mM) for 48 h and then cocultured with VSMCs for another 24 h to stimulate VSMC proliferation. # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01 versus NG (5.5 mM) coculture group; *P < 0.05 versus HG (35.5 mM) coculture group.
