Fig. 2From: Myeloperoxidase-oxidized high density lipoprotein impairs atherosclerotic plaque stability by inhibiting smooth muscle cell migrationoxHDL reduces HDL’s promotion of SMC proliferation. a In vitro MTT assay was performed to analyze SMC viability. The native HDL and oxHDL was applied to SMCs at a concentration of 100 μg/ml for 48 h. The absorbance at A570 was measured and compared. b In vitro BrdU assay was performed to analyze SMC proliferation. The native HDL and oxHDL were applied to SMCs at a concentration of 100 μg /ml for 48 h. The absorbance at A450 was measured and compared (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 compared with non-treated group (NT), ##p < 0.01 compared with HDL group)Back to article page
