Ahn To explore the effect of stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) on rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) /monocytes adhesion. Methods VSMC was ineuhated with different concentrations of oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), SDF-1α mRNA and protein expression were revealed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) and Western blotting. VSMC pretmated with 50 mg/L ox-LDL for 48 h were incubated with monocytes and SDF-1α antibody to observe cells adhesion. Results Compared with control, SDF-1α was upregu...
