Methylglyoxal Scavengers Attenuate Angiogenesis Dysfunction Induced by Methylglyoxal and Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation

Figure 9

Effects of NAC or AG on the expression of AGEs/RAGE and angiogenesis factors at mRNA and protein levels. (a, b) Bar charts showing quantitative RT-PCR data about the relative levels of VEGFA (a) and FGF2 (b) expressions (normalized to β-actin). (c) Western blotting showing AGEs/RAGE and angiogenesis-related protein expression. (d–g) Quantitative analysis of p-VEGFR2-951 (d), VEGFR2 (e), Cav1 (f), VEGFA (g), and protein expression levels. All data are the (), , , and vs. the MG group.
