AGEs induce apoptosis in HASMCs. Dose-dependent study of AGEs-induced apoptosis in HASMCs at AGEs concentrations from 0 to 100 mg/L. (A) Western blot analysis of apoptosis-related proteins (Bak, Bax, caspase-3, and caspase-9) in AGEs-treated HASMCs. (B) Flow cytometry analysis of apoptosis in AGEs-treated HASMCs. Data are presented with mean percentages of Q2 and Q3 quadrant. Each bar represents the mean ± SD (n = 3/group); * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
