WB
Overexpression of SMS1 regulates TGF-β1-induced EMT via TGF-β type I receptors. (A)-expression of TβRI and (B)-phosphorylation of Smad2 and Smad2 were measured by western blotting in MDA-MB-231 cells.
IHC
Non-thermal plasma down-regulated the expression of p-Smad 2/3. **p < 0.01. (A) Typical images of p-Smad 2 and p-Smad 3 after immunohistochemical staining in the control and NTP groups. The image in the lower left corner is a magnified view of the blue square. Bar = 200 μm/20 μm. (B) Statistical analysis of p-Smad2/3 on day 21 in the control and the NTP treated wounds.
ICC/IF
ALG3 enhances radioresistance via regulation of TGFBR2 glycosylation. (b) Representative immunofluorescence images of TGFBR2 expression level in cytoplasmic and membrane fractions. (e) Representative immunofluorescence images of p-SMAD2 expression level in cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions. Nuclear translocation of p-SMAD2 was significantly decreased in ALG3-sg and tunicamycin treatment groups.
