Thrombin inhibits cholesterol efflux via ABCA1 degradation in mouse aortic smooth muscle cells. A–H, all of the experimental conditions were the same as in Fig. 1, A–H, respectively, in their order except that instead of macrophages, aortic smooth muscle cells were used. *, p < 0.05 versus control or vector; **, p < 0.05 versus thrombin or vector + thrombin.
