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 2 The level of α-SMA protein expression with different treatment after 24 h. Western blot was used as described in Materials and Methods. A: Representative Western blot results of α-SMA. The positions of protein size markers were given; B: Densitometry of Western blot analyzed by Gel-pro software. The levels of α-SMA were normalized to the level of β-actin protein. Six independent experiments were performed. ^aP < 0.05 vs control LX-2 cell group. Error bars, SD.
