A, Western blot analysis of phospho–p47phox levels in injured femoral arteries of C57Bl/6 and Hmgb2–/– mice and in sham arteries. B, Quantification of phospho–p47phox levels in A. #P<0.05 vs sham; *P<0.05 vs injured arteries of C57Bl/6; n=3. C, Immunofluorescent staining of phospho–p47phox (red) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA; green) in sections of sham or wire injury fem- oral artery in C57Bl/6 and Hmgb2–/– mice. Representative images are shown. D, Quantification of phospho–p47phox levels in femoral arter- ies of C. #P<0.05 vs sham; *P<0.05 vs injured artery of C57Bl/6; n=5. E, Human aortic smooth muscle cells (hASMCs) were stimulated with HMGB2 for various times (0, 15, 30, and 60 minutes). Phospho–p47phox and total p47phox levels were determined using Western blot analy- sis, with quantification as given in Figure XIF in the online-only Data Supplement. F, H, I, and K, In hASMCs transfected with scramble-small interfering RNA (siRNA) or p47phox-siRNA for 24 h and then stimulated by HMGB2 or PBS in experiments, ROS, proliferation assay, Boyden chamber assay, and Wound-healing assay were performed, and respectively, quantified in G, J, and L. *P<0.05 vs scramble-siRNA with PBS stimulation; #P<0.05 vs scramble-siRNA with HMGB2 stimulation; n=3 to 6. Scale bar: 50 μm. DCF indicates 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein.

    Figure 6. High-mobility group box (HMGB) 2 promotes p47phox phosphorylation and migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) via receptor of advanced glycation end products (RAGE) but not NOX4. A, Human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) were transfected with scramble-small interfering RNA (siRNA), Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2-siRNA, TLR4-siRNA, or RAGE-siRNA for 24 h, followed by stimulation with PBS or HMGB2. The levels of phospho–p47phox and p47phox were determined by Western blot analysis. Quantification can be found in Figure XIII in the online-only Data Supplement. B and C, VSMCs derived from Rage–/– and Tlr4–/– mice were treated with PBS or HMGB2. The levels of phospho–p47phox and p47phox were determined by Western blot analysis. Quanti- fication can be found in Figure XIII in the online-only Data Supplement. D, F, and H, VSMCs derived from C57Bl/6 and Rage–/– mice were treated with PBS or HMGB2 in experiments. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), Boyden chamber, and proliferation assay were performed, and respectively, quantified in E and G. *P<0.05 vs C57Bl/6 mouse-derived VSMCs; #P<0.05 vs C57Bl/6 mouse-derived VSMCs with HMGB2 stimulation; n=3 to 5.
