STAT5B and ITGB1 Are Involved in AoSMC Proliferation, Phenotype Switch, and Migration
(A) Western blot assay for ITGB1 expression in AoSMCs from different groups with or without PDGF-BB treatment. (B) Densitometric analysis for (A). (C) Western blot assay for contractile gene expression in AoSMCs from different groups with or without PDGF-BB treatment. (D) The proliferation potential of AoSMCs in NC or STAT5B siRNA group with or without PDGF-BB treatment. (E) Densitometric analysis for (C). (F) Quantification of migrated cells in different groups. (G) Representative images of scratch-wound assay in different groups with or without PDGF-BB treatment. Scale bar, 100 μm. Each assay was performed in triplicate. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
