Fig. 2

Overexpression of β2AR in transfected EPCs. a β2AR mRNA levels were measured in non-Adv EPCs, Ad5/EGFP EPCs, and Ad5/β2AR EPCs by using real-time polymerase chain reaction and normalized against β-actin (n = 5 per group). *P < 0.01 versus non-Adv EPCs or Ad5/EGFP EPCs. NS not significant versus non-Adv-EPCs. b β2AR protein levels were significantly higher in the Ad5/β2AR EPC group than in the non-Adv EPC or Ad5/EGFP-EPC group. *P < 0.01 versus non-Adv EPCs or Ad5/EGFP EPCs. NS not significant versus non-Adv-EPCs (n = 5 per group). Ad5 adenovirus serotype 5, EGFP enhanced green fluorescent protein, EPC endothelial progenitor cell, β2AR β2 adrenergic receptor
