Figure 3.
PVSMCs transfected with pEGFP-TMEM16A plasmid at multiplicity of infection (multiplicity of infection=100) were observed under (A) a light microscope and (B) a fluorescence microscope. Magnification, ×40. (C) Protein expression levels of TMEM16A in the control, pEGFP-TMEM16A transfection plasmid and pEGFP-N1 plasmid groups. (D) Quantification of the results from part C. *P<0.05 vs. the control. PVSMC, portal vein smooth muscle cell; TMEM16A, transmembrane protein 16A; pEGFP, pEGFP-TMEM16A plasmid group; N1, pEGFP-N1 plasmid group.
