Effect of oleate in VSMCs apoptosis. Effect of oleate in VSMCs apoptosis induced by TNF-α measured by cellular cycle (a) or by Western blot analysis of active caspase 3 (b) or induced by thapsigargin by Western blot analysis (c). *p < 0.05 vs. control; †p < 0.05 vs. stimulus. d Western blot analysis of PAI-1 levels induced by TNF-α at different time points. e Effect of oleate and parthenolide in PAI-1 levels induced by TNF-α. β-actin was used as charge control
