Calponin, SMA and Vimentin expression after arterial injury.

(A–C) Expression of Calponin (34 kDa), Vimentin (57 kDa) and MMP-14 (66 kDa) after balloon angioplasty in rats treated with vehicle (A), SB431542 (SB) (B) and rhTGF-β1, as detected by western blotting. The blots were cropped and the gels were run under the same experimental conditions. (D–F) Densitometry analysis of Calponin (D), Vimentin (E) and MMP-14 (F) expression (n = 5 per group per experiment). *P < 0.05, SB- vs. vehicle-treated group; #P < 0.05, rhTGF-β1- vs. vehicle-treated group.
