Down-regulation of transforming growth factor β1/activin receptor-like kinase 1 pathway gene expression by herbal compound 861 is related to deactivation of LX-2 cells

Figure 1 Effect of different treatment on α-SMA, Id1, ALK1 expression after 24 h. Cpd861 could decrease the level of all these genes compared with untreated LX-2 cells (^aP < 0.05 vs control LX-2 cell group). Even with TGFβ1, Cpd861 could also exert its inhibitory roles in these genes expression (^cP < 0.05 vs TGFβ1 treated group). Samples were obtained from 6 wells of cells for examining the relative fold change of α-SMA (A), Id1 (B), ALK1 (C) expression .Three replicate reactions for per sample. Error bars, SD.
