Fig. 4From: Calcitonin gene-related peptide promotes proliferation and inhibits apoptosis in endothelial progenitor cells via inhibiting MAPK signalingEffects of CGRP8–37, PD98059, SB203580, and SP600125 on EPC proliferation and apoptosis. Quantitative analysis of the proliferative target genes cyclin D1 and cyclin E (a, b) or apoptotic target genes caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, Bax and Bcl-2 (d-h). The protein levels of cleaved caspase-3 were evaluated by Western blot (c). # p < 0.05 compared with the CGRP-only groupBack to article page
