Artesunate inhibited the CSE-induced proliferation in HBSM cells. a The cell viability was determined by CCK-8 assay. b The cell proliferation was determined by BrdU incorporation assay. The proteins levels of cyclin D1 (c) and α-SMA (d) in HBSM cells were analyzed by Western blot. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 3. ^##P < 0.01 compared to control group using unpaired t-test; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ns means no significant difference compared to CSE group using one-way ANOVA with Dunnett test for selected pairs.
