Circadian expressions of Fas, p53, Bax, t-PA and PAI-1 at mRNA levels in NVSMCs and PVSMCs. The mRNA expression levels of Fas (a), p53 (b), Bax (c), t-PA (d) and PAI-1 (e) were determined by qRT-PCR at indicated time points after serum shock, and were normalized to GAPDH mRNA levels. The signal levels at ZT0 of NVSMCs were defined as 1. Each value was presented as mean ± SD (n1 = 9 of NVSMCs samples; n2 = 23 of PVSMCs samples). Unpaired student’s t test was used to assess the expression differences between two groups. *p < 0.05 and**p < 0.01 in PVSMCs versus NVSMCs
