a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner, with maximal effect at a concentration of 10 À8 mol/l at 12 h (in the level of protein secretion from the cells, p<0.01) or 24 h (in the level of protein expression in the cells, p<0.01), which could also be inhibited by these inhibitors (p<0.01 in all groups). Conclusion Urotensin II may stimulate the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in rat aortic adventitial fibroblasts, through its receptor and the Ca 2+ channel, protein kinase C,
