1 Thrombospondin-1 induces activation of focal adhesion kinase in vascular smooth muscle cells 
Vivian Gahtan, MD, Xiu-Jie Wang, MD, Masataka Ikeda, MD, Alliric I. Willis, MD, George P. Tuszynski, PhD, Bauer E.

2 Fig 1 Growth-arrested confluent vascular smooth muscle cells were treated with thrombospondin-1 (20 μg/mL) for 0, 15, 30, and 120 minutes. Cell lysates were subjected to antiphosphotyrosine (RC20H) immunoblotting. Three prominent bands were identified at 68 kDa, 125 kDa, and 180 kDa.

3 Fig 2 Growth-arrested vascular smooth muscle cells were treated with thrombospondin-1 (20 μg/mL) for 15, 30, and 120 minutes. Serum-free medium was the negative control. Cell lysates were subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-focal adhesion kinase antibodies. A, Antiphosphotyrosine immunoblotting demonstrates tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase, hence activation. B, Immunoblotting with anti-focal adhesion kinase antibodies confirms equal loading of protein and no change in focal adhesion kinase levels.

4 Fig 3 Phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase quantified by means of densitometry in four different experiments. Normalized data demonstrates enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase for thrombospondin-1 stimulated vascular smooth muscle cells, compared with cells in serum-free medium (P < .05), and was no different from cells exposed to 10 ng/mL platelet-derived growth factor (positive control).
