BMP2 inhibits TGF-β-induced α-SMA and FN expression in hPSCs. hPSCs were pretreated with BMP2 (250 ng/ml) for 30 min followed by TGF-β (1 ng/ml) for 48 h. A: immunofluorescence was performed using antibodies against α-SMA (red) and FN (green), and the cell nucleus was stained with DAPI (blue). B: quantification of fluorescent intensity from 5–10 different fields/sample. *P < 0.05 compared with vehicle group. #P < 0.05 compared with TGF-β group. Original magnifications, ×200.
