Effect of CR on VSMCs contraction markers and function (A–D). A, B VSMCs contractile phenotype markers; α-SMA and CNN1 proteins expression significantly increased in CR group; C VSMCs contraction markers; CNN1, ACTA2, and TAGLN genes expression significantly increased in CR group; D immunofluorescence staining of the VSMCs cytoskeleton in no-CR and CR group; E VSMCs lengths shortened in CR group. (* indicates a significant difference from the control group, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ****P < 0.0001)
