From: IL-1β promotes A7r5 and HASMC migration and invasion via the p38-MAPK/Angpt-2 pathway
The effects of IL-1β on Angpt-2 expression in A7r5 and HASMCs. The expression of Angpt-2, MMP2, and MMP9 in A7r5 and HASMCs cells was measured by western blotting (A) and (D). A7r5 and HASMCs cells migration and invasion ability were measured by Transwell and wound healing assays (× 100) (B, C–c). ∗∗ was considered significant compared to control group. ## was considered significant compared to si-Angpt-2 group (P < 0.01(**,##))
