Figure 5. Effects of Slug shRNA on the protein expression of Slug in HSFBs.

Figure 5

The Slug protein level was significantly decreased in the HSFBs of the Slug shRNA group (Inline graphic = 0.26, s = 0.05), compared with the normal skin fibroblasts (Inline graphic = 0.46, s = 0.04), HSFBs transfected with control shRNA (Inline graphic = 0.86, s = 0.10) and non-transfected HSFBs (Inline graphic = 0.92, s = 0.04). And the protein expression of Slug in HSFBs transfected with control shRNA was not significantly decreased than that in non-transfected HSFBs. And the Slug protein level was significantly lower in normal skin fibroblast than that in non-transfected HSFBs and HSFBs transfected with control shRNA (A and B). *: P<0.01 versus Normal skin fibroblast; : P<0.01 versus Control shRNA; : P<0.01 versus HSFBs.
