Fig 2. The antiproliferative effect of capsaicin in VSMCs diminishes in the presence of BCTC.

Fig 2

Quiescent VSMC were pretreated with vehicle controls (0.1% DMSO alone, or in combination with 0.1% ethanol, EtOH), 1 μmol/L capsaicin (Caps) alone or in combination with 200 nmol/L BCTC for 30 min and incubated for 24 h with 20 ng/mL PDGF-BB. The graph shows the mean values ± SD of incorporated BrdU relative to DMSO vehicle control out of 3 independent experiments, each performed in triplicates (* p < 0.05; n.s. not significant; ANOVA, Tukey post-hoc test).
