(A) CCK-8 assay for assessing the proliferation of HASMCs under treatment of different concentrations of Ang-II (0-100 nM). (B–D) RT-qPCR analysis and western blotting of FGF21 mRNA and protein expression levels in HASMCs treated with different concentrations of Ang-II (0–100 nM), respectively. Ang-II, angiotensin II; FGF21, fibroblast growth factor 21; CCK-8, cell counting kit-8; HASMCs, human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells; RT-qPCR, real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
