cAMP signalling can inhibit human VSMC migration via multiple mediators. VSMC were added to the chemotaxis chamber in the presence of PDGF (10 ng/mL). (A) PDGF-induced migration was inhibited in the presence of Sp-cAMPS (20 µmol/L), 6-Phe-cAMP (5 µmol/L), or 8-Me-cAMP (2 µmol/L), n = 5. (B) The simultaneous addition of 6-Phe-cAMP (5 µmol/L) and 8-Me-cAMP (2 µmol/L) in the presence of PDGF had no further effect on VSMC migration in comparison with 6-Phe-cAMP or 8-Me-cAMP alone, n = 5, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM Percentage of migration in comparison to the control.
