Calcified A7r5 cells treated with E2 and its antagonist: (a) calcified A7r5 cells treated with E2 and its antagonist, with ethanol as a vehicle control (eth group), alizarin red staining showed that calcification reduction induced by E2 were alleviated by ICI182780 treatment (×100); (b and c) real-time PCR and western blotting demonstrated that HIF-1α were upregulated in the A7r5 calcification treatment, and this augment of HIF-1α in calcification was inhibited by E2. (n = 3) *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.

Abbreviations: cal: calcification; eth: ethanol vehicle.
