Time course of the effect of OxyHb on Cx43 protein expression and PKC inhibitors prevented the increase in Cx43 expression induced by OxyHb. a The upper photographs are from a representative immunoblot shows Cx43 protein levels among different OxyHb incubation time points of experimental CVS model in cultured BASMCs, and quantitative graphs are shown below. Data represent the mean ± SEM, **P<0.01 vs. normal group, n = 8. b The effect of PKC inhibitors on Cx43 protein expression at the time of 48 h after OxyHb incubation. Quantitative graphs are shown below, data represent the mean ± SEM, *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. normal group, ^##P<0.01 vs. OxyHb-only group, n = 8. The full-length blots are presented in Additional file 1: Figs. S1, S2
