Knockdown of TIPE2 aggravated PDGF-BB-mediated reduction of calponin and SM22α expressions in ASMCs. ASMCs were transfected with si-TIPE2 or si-NC for 48 h and then treated with PDGF-BB. A, B The mRNA expression levels of calponin and SM22α were measured using the qRT-PCR assay. C The protein expression levels of calponin and SM22α were detected using the Western blot assay. D, E Quantification analysis of calponin and SM22α. Control group, *p < 0.05, vs. the si-NC + PDGF-BB group, #p < 0.05
