3,4-Di-O-Caffeoylquinic Acid Inhibits Angiotensin-II-Induced Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation and Migration by Downregulating the JNK and PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathways

Figure 4

Ang-II induced protein kinses phosphorylation, proliferation and migration. (a) Concentration-dependent responsiveness of Ang-II-induced phosphorylation of p38, ERK1/2, JNK and Akt. (b) Effects of SB203580, PD98059, SP600125 and wortmannin on the Ang-II-induced rVSMC proliferation. (c) Effects of SB203580, PD98059, SP600125 and wortmannin on the Ang-II-induced rVSMC migration. and , significant difference versus samples treated with Ang II alone. Each histogram represents the mean ± SE of three separate experiments run in triplicate on three separate cultures.
