Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) αSMA mRNA levels in HCAEC treated with TGFβ1 (10 ng/ml) or exposed to hypoxic conditions (5% O 2 ), in the absence or presence of moderate dose EtOH (25 mM, green bars) or high dose EtOH (100 mM, red bars) +/- the γ-secretase inhibitor DAPT (20 μM). (b) αSMA and fibronectin (FN) mRNA levels in HCAEC treated with TGFβ1 +/- the Notch ligand DLL4 (3 μg/ml) in the absence or presence of DAPT (20 μM). Data are mean±SEM, n=3. *p<0.05 vs control (no treatment), #p<0.05 vs TGFβ1 or hypoxia.
Article Snippet: Where indicated, cells were treated with Notch inhibitor DAPT (20 μM, Cat. #2634, Tocris,) or Notch ligand DLL4 (2 μg/ml, Cat. # 1506-D4, R&D Systems).
