From: A decrease in integrin α5β1/FAK is associated with increased apoptosis of aortic smooth muscle cells in acute type a aortic dissection

Fig. 4

After HASMCs were transfected with integrin α5β1 siRNA for 48 h, cell viability decreased significantly (A). (B) Compared with that in the control group, the percentage of apoptotic HASMCs increased following integrin α5β1 knockdown. (C) Western blot analysis confirmed that after integrin α5β1 was knocked down in HASMCs, the expression levels of integrin α5, integrin β1 and FAK decreased. ***P < 0.001 vs. the control n = 3 per group
