2. Fig 1
Growth factor and cytokine-induced vascular smooth muscle proliferation. VSMCs were incubated in control media (Cont) or increasing concentrations of FGF (A) or TNF (B) for 24 h. Both FGF and TNF induced concentration-dependent VSMC (∗p < versus control).

Influence of nonspecific and specific NFκB blockade on unstimulated VSMC growth. Dexamethasone (Dex), calpain inhibitor-1 (CI-1), liposomes containing the GST moiety alone (Lipo), and liposomal IκBα (IκBα) had no effect on unstimulated VSMC proliferation.

4. Fig 3
Influence of nonspecific NFκB inhibition on mitogen-stimulated VSMC. FGF (10 ng/mL) and TNF (10 ng/mL) induced VSMC proliferation compared with control (†p < 0.001). Both dexamethasone (Dex) and calpain inhibitor-1 (CI-1) inhibit FGF- and TNF-induced VSMC proliferation (∗p < 0.001, versus [A] FGF and [B] TNF).

5. Fig 4
Influence of specific NFκB blockade with liposomal delivery of IκBα on mitogen-stimulated VSMC. Both FGF (10 ng/mL) and TNF (10 ng/mL) induced VSMC proliferation compared with control (†p < 0.001). Simultaneous incubation with liposome containing the GST moiety alone (Lipo) had no effect on FGF- or TNF-induced proliferation. Liposomal delivery of IκBα (IκBα) inhibited both FGF- and TNF-stimulated VSMC proliferation (∗p < 0.001, versus [A] FGF and [B] TNF).
