Expression of FPPS mRNAs (a) and protein (b) in VSMCs from WKY and SHR before and after NE treatment. Quiescent VSMCs from SHR and WKY were incubated with NE (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 μM) for 24 h. Levels of FPPS mRNAs and protein were determined by RT-qPCR analysis, Western blot respectively. The ratio of FPPS mRNAs (a) and protein (b) is set to ‘1’ for WKY control group. Data are expressed as mean±s.e.m. (n=5). #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 vs corresponding WKY group; *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs corresponding control group.
