Figure 2.
The dose- and time-dependent effects of advanced glycation-bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA) treatment on retinal microvascular pericyte (RMP) viability, moesin phosphorylation. (A, B) The effects of AGE-BSA treatment on RMP viability. (C) The effects of AGE-BSA treatment on RMP migration. (D, E) The effects of AGE-BSA treatment on moesin phosphorylation in RMPs. Data shown are representative of experimental and quantitative results. N = 3 independent experiments. *p < 0.05 vs. control, # p < 0.05 vs. BSA. Figure S2 confirmed the expression of moesin and ERM proteins in RMPs by positive staining of immunofluorent moesin or ERM protein in most cells.
