Figure 9. SRSF1 facilitates endothelia cell migration and proliferation.

Figure 9

(a) Representative pictures and averaged data of re-endothelialization. Re-endothelialization was quantified in Evans blue-stained carotid arteries at 3 and 7 days after vascular injury. Blue staining indicates endothelial denudation. n=9 per group. Scale bar, 10 mm. (b) mRNA levels of SRSF1 in human coranary artery endothelia cells (HCAECs) treated with Ang II at 6, 12 and 24 h; n=8 per group. (c) SRSF1 expression in HCAECs treated as in a; n=7 per group. (d) Overexpression of SRSF1 by Ad-SRSF1 infection in HCAECs; n=5 per group. (e) Δ133p53 levels in HCAECs infected with Ad-GFP or Ad-SRSF1; n=6 per group. (f) Overexpression of Δ133p53 in cultured HCAECs by Ad-Δ133p53 infection; n=5 per group. (g) Representative images and averaged data from wound-healing assays in HCAECs infected with Ad-GFP, Ad-SRSF1 or Ad-Δ133p53 and treated Ang II; n=9 per group. Scale bar, 200 μm. (h) Δ133p53 siRNAs (Δ133 si1 and Δ133 si2) deplete Δ133p53 protein in HCAECs; n=6 per group. (i) Representative images and averaged data from wound-healing assays in HCAECs infected with Δ133p53 siRNAs with or without Ad-SRSF1 overexpression and treated with Ang II; n=9 per group. Scale bar, 200 μm. (j,k) PCNA expression in cultured HCAECs infected with Ad-SRSF1 (j) or Ad-Δ133p53 (k); n=5 each. (l) MTT assays of HCAECs infected with Ad-GFP, Ad-SRSF1 or Ad-Δ133p53 after Ang II for 4 days; n=12 per group. (m) KLF5, p21, and PCNA levels in HCAECs infected with scrambled or Δ133p53 siRNAs in the presence or absence of Ad-SRSF1 overexpression; n=7 per group. (n) MTT assays showing the SRSF1-mediated enhancement of proliferation was inhibited by Δ133p53 knockdown in HCAECs; n=15 per group. Adenoviral infection above is 100 m.o.i. for 48 h. Ang II concentration is 200 nM. Scr indicates scrambled siRNA control. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, one-way ANOVA (ac,e,gn). Data are mean±s.e.m. of four independent experiments (ac,e,gn).
