NOD2 Agonist Promotes the Production of Inflammatory Cytokines in VSMC in Synergy with TLR2 and TLR4 Agonists

Figure 2

MDP stimulated FGF-2 mRNA expression in VSMC. FGF-2 mRNA expression increased in VSMC after 24-h MDP (10 ng/mL) stimulation (9.32 ± 0.37 versus control 7.44 ± 0.25; , ). FGF-2 mRNA relative expression level = FGF-2/cyclophilin A.
