Expression levels of characteristic markers in LmcMF and SmcMF. A, B: The expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA); C, D: Vimentin; E, F: Desmin; G: Type I collagen in primary intestinal myofibroblast (primary); LmcMF (A, C, and E), and SmcMF (B, D, and F) were investigated by Western blotting. Representative blots from 2 independent experiments are shown. Tubulin, actin, and valosin-containing protein (VCP) were used as loading controls.
