Oridonin regulates the expression of proteins in the transforming growth factor β/Smad pathway. Western blot analysis of the effect of oridonin on proteins in the Smad signaling pathway in BxPC-3 cells. The BxPC-3 cells were treated with 0, 8, 16, or 32 μg/mL oridonin for 24 h. Three independent experiments were performed, and a representative result is shown. TGFβ1: Transforming growth factor β1; BMP-2: Bone morphogenetic proteins 2; Smads: Sma and mad homologues.
