Male BRAF^fl/fl/Cre^+/− (BRAF) mice were treated with corn-oil (CO) or tamoxifen in CO (Tx) 4 days before minipumps were implanted to deliver acidified PBS (AcPBS) or 0.8 mg/kg/d AngII in AcPBS (AngII) for 1 or 7 d. RNA was extracted and expression of selected genes assessed by qPCR. (A) Fgf2 was assessed at 7 d. (B) CTGF and TGFB1 were assessed at 1 or 7 d as indicated. (C) Pro-fibrotic genes (Ddr2, Lox, Col1a1, Col4a1, Postn, Fn1) were assessed at 7 d. (D) Pro-inflammatory (IL1b, IL6) and oxidant (Hif1a, NOX1, NOX2, NOX4) genes were assessed at 7 d. Data are presented as individual values with means ± SEM. Statistical analysis used two-way ANOVA with Holm-Sidak's post-test. Statistically significant values (P<0.05) are in bold type.
