Effect of TGF-β on the Expression of Endothelial and Smooth Muscle Markers in HMPAECs. a Representative Western blot images comparing changes in the expression of the endothelial marker CD31 and the smooth muscle marker α-SMA and SM22-α in HMPAECs after exposure to different doses of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2. b Quantification of endothelial and smooth muscle marker expression by densitometry analysis of western blots. Results were normalized to α-Tubulin and Gapdh (loading control) and expressed as fold-change relative to control without TGF-β. (n = 3–4, *p < 0.05)
