Effects of preeclampsia (PE) serum on the viability of cocultured human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells (HUASMCs). (a) HUASMC viability was measured following incubation with the indicated concentration of PE sera after 24 h. *The cell viability was significantly higher in the PE group compared with the normal (N) group. aSignificantly lower compared with the 0–15% points in the N group. bSignificantly higher compared with the 0, 5, 20, 25 and 30% points in the PE group. (b) HUASMC viability was measured following incubation with 10% PE sera at the indicated time points. Data are presented as the mean±s.d. of eight measurements. *The cell viability was significantly higher in the PE group compared with the N group. aSignificantly lower compared with the 0–36 h time points (in the N group). bSignificantly lower compared with the 0–48 h time points (in the N group). cSignificantly higher compared with all other time points. dSignificantly higher compared with the 0–12 and 48–72 h time points.
