The mRNA and protein expression level in THP-1 macrophages. (A) The mRNA expression levels of TGF-β1 and TIMP1 were detected. (B and C) The protein expression levels of TGF-β1 and TIMP1 level were detected. **Compared with THP-1 + Vector group, P<0.01. TGF-β1, transforming growth factor-β1; TIMP1, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase 1.
