Effects of MECO and MECB on Sp1 expression. (A) HSC-2 cells were treated with DMSO or various concentrations (300, 600 and 900 μg/ml) of MECO or MECB for 48 h. The effects of MECO and MECB on Sp1 expression were analyzed by western blot analysis. (B) HSC-2 cells were transfected with siRNA (siCon or siSp1) for 48 h. The cell viability was estimated by trypan blue exclusion assay and whole-cell lysates were analyzed by western blot analysis using antibodies against Sp1, PARP and actin. MECO, methanol extracts of C. officinale Makino; MECB, methanol extracts of C. bursa-pastoris; Sp1, specificity protein 1; PARP, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase.
