Fig. 3From: Recombinant truncated latency-associated peptide alleviates liver fibrosis in vitro and in vivo via inhibition of TGF-β/Smad pathwayDetection of the effects of LAP and tLAP on TGF-β1-induced apoptosis and EMT in AML12 cells. A Detection of the mRNA expression of Bax, Bcl-2, IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, TGF-β, α-SMA and E-cadherin in AML12 cells. B Detection of the expression of Bax, Bcl-2, IL-6, IL-1β, α-SMA and E-cadherin in AML12 cells. ***P < 0.001 vs control group; #P < 0.05 vs TGF-β1 group; ##P < 0.01 vs TGF-β1 group; ###P < 0.001 vs TGF-β1 group; △P < 0.05, TGF-β1 + tLAP group vs TGF-β1 + LAP group; △△P < 0.01, TGF-β1 + tLAP group vs TGF-β1 + LAP group; △△△P < 0.001, TGF-β1 + tLAP group vs TGF-β1 + LAP groupBack to article page
