Resveratrol Inhibits Phenotype Modulation by Platelet Derived Growth Factor-bb in Rat Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells

Figure 3

Characterization of morphology modulation by resveratrol on PDGF-bb-stimulated RAOSMCs. Cells were incubated in serum-free media (a, d), 10 ng/mL PDGF-bb (b, e), or 20 μM resveratrol with 10 ng/mL PDGF-bb (c, f). Nuclei were stained blue with Hoechst 33528, 𝛼SMA (a∼c) and calponin (d∼f) are red, and F-actin is green due to alexa (388)-rhodamine phalloidin. The micrographs (magnification, ×100) shown in this figure are representative of three independent experiments with similar results.
