Glucose induces FAM3B expression in VSMCs. Cultured rat VSMCs were stimulated with 25 mM glucose for the indicated time-points. (A) RT-qPCR and (B) Western blotting analyses of FAM3B expression levels. * P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.01 vs. 0 h. Cultured VSMCs were stimulated with indicated concentrations of glucose for 36 h. (C) RT-qPCR and (D) Western blotting analyses of FAM3B expression levels. * P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.01 vs. 5.5 mM glucose. (E) Quantification of the half-life of FAM3B protein by a CHX chase experiment. (F) Ubiquitination of FAM3B protein.
