From: Higher BMP/Smad sensitivity of tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) isolated from the collagenase-induced tendon injury model: possible mechanism for their altered fate in vitro

Figure 4

Total and phosphorylated Smad 1/5/8 in TDSCs (HT) and TDSCs (CI) after BMP-2 stimulation. (A) Photograph showing the protein expression of total Smad 1/5/8 and pSmad 1/5/8 in TDSCs (HT) and TDSCs (CI) at 0 min, 15 min, 30 min and 60 min after BMP-2 stimulation. β-actin was used as a loading control. Graphs showing the normalized mean and SE of protein band intensities of (B) pSmad 1/5/8 and (C) total Smad 1/5/8 at 0 min, 15 min, 30 min and 60 min after BMP-2 stimulation.
