Fig 4. Effects of HG and bFGF on phosphorylation of JNK and ERK.

Fig 4

Immunoblotting analysis was performed to analyze the effects of high glucose (HG) and 100 ng/mL bFGF on phosphorylation levels of JNK and ERK respectively (A, B, E, F) during 72 hours of period and effects of 30 minutes of bFGF stimulation before HGstressed human VECs for 72 hours. All experiments were performed after exposure of cells to 5 mg/mL mitomycin C (to inhibit proliferation) for 1 day. (C), (D), (G), (H), (K), (L) Results are presented as fold changes relative to LG-incubated VECs. Data represent mean values ± SE of four independent experiments, relative to the LG group (*P < 0.05) and the HG group (# P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01).
