Figure 2 Study of apoptosis. (a, c) Proapoptotic effects of 10μM lovastatin and (b, d) 10–20μM GGTI 298 in serum- and PDGF-stimulated HMCs. Apoptosis was determined by Hoechst 33342 and propidium iodide staining. Co-incubation of lovastatin with 7.5μM GGPP reduces the proapoptoic effects of lovastatin. The error bars are s.e.m., n=3. *P<0.05 and ***P<0.001 with respect to vehicle-treated cells.
