Figure 6From: Angiotensin II Downregulates MicroRNA-145 to Regulate Kruppel-like Factor 4 and Myocardin Expression in Human Coronary Arterial Smooth Muscle Cells under High Glucose ConditionsEffect of high glucose and angiotensin II on HCASMCs proliferation and migration. (A) DNA synthesis by Alamar blue assay. *P < 0.01 versus control. +P < 0.01 versus hyperglycemia (25 mmol/L glucose). n = 4 per group. (B) HCASMCs migrated through filter were stained. HCASMCs treated with hyperglycemia and Ang II for 6 h in the presence or absence of WT miR-145, antagomir-145, Klf4 siRNA, or valsartan. (C) Migration of HCASMCs was quantified by staining and counting the number of cells that migrated to the bottom of the filter in five fields under a 400× high-power field (HPF). (n = 4 per group). #P < 0.001 versus control (lane 1). *P < 0.001 versus hyperglycemia (lane 2).Back to article page
