Effect of BAPTA-AM and PKA inhibitors on the expression of BDNF induced by 10 ng/ml IL-1β. Incubation of smooth muscle tissues for 24 h with the Ca2+ chelating agent BAPTA-AM significantly reduced the increase in BDNF expression levels induced by 10 ng/ml IL-1β. Treatment with PKA decreased BDNF expression levels. Data are presented as the mean ± the standard error of the mean. BDNF, brain derived neurotrophic factor; IL-1β, interleukin-1β; PKA, protein kinase A.
