From: TGF-β3 regulates adhesion formation through the JNK/c-Jun pathway during flexor tendon healing
TGF-β3 and Smad7 Expression Increased, and TGF-β1/2 and Smad3 Expression Decreased in ad-TGF-β3 Treated Flexor Tendon Tissues. (A) Protein bands for TGF-β3, TGF-β1/2, Smad3, Smad7, and β-actin were detected by western blotting assay. (B-E) Relative protein expressions of TGF-β3 (B), TGF-β1/2 (C), Smad3 (D) and Smad7 (E) in flexor tendon tissues were detected by western blotting assay. Expression was normalized to β-actin. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs. vehicle group. n = 6 for each group
