Fig. 3. Effects of mechanical stretch (MS) on PDGFR expression in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).
The cultured rat VSMCs were stimulated with MS (3 and 10%) for 6 h, and then the expression levels of PDGFR-α and PDGFR-β were determined by Western blot. β-Actin was used as an internal control. The blots are representative of 5 independent experiments. Relative intensities to β-actin were quantified and expressed as the means ± SEM of 5 independent experiments. **p < 0.01 vs. corresponding value in control.
