Melatonin Attenuates β-Glycerophosphate-Induced Calcification of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells via a Wnt1/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway
Figure 5
Effects of melatonin on the expression of Wnt1 and β-catenin in VSMCs (n = 3). (a-b) The effects of LiCl on the expression of Wnt1 and β-catenin. Cells were preincubated with or without LiCl (5 mM) stimulated with or without melatonin (5 μM). (c) The effects of TG2 (0.0075 U/mL) on the expression of β-catenin. versus Con (without β-GP), versus the values of cells incubated with melatonin, ▲ versus the values of cells incubated with β-GP, and versus the values of cells incubated with melatonin and β-GP.
