Effect of IL-18 nAb on macrophage differentiation and SMC apoptosis. (a) iNOS, IFN-γ, and IL-6 mRNA levels in macrophage were measured by RT-qPCR. vs. the Mø group; # vs. the Mø+CD4+TCs+Ang II group. (b) The Bax and Bcl2 mRNA levels in SMCs were measured by RT-qPCR. vs. the Mø+SMC group; # vs. the Mø+CD4+ TCs+Ang II+SMC group.
