TGFβ1 reduces gene expression of scavenger receptors. Primary human brain pericytes were treated with vehicle (1 mM citric acid, pH 3 with 0.1 % BSA) or 10 ng/mL TGFβ1 for 24 h. RNA was extracted and expression of CD36 (a), CD68 (b) and CD47 (c) and determined by qRT-PCR from three independent experiments. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 versus vehicle control (Student’s t test)
