Plumbagin regulation of protein levels of α-SMA, EGFR, and STAT3 in HSC-T6 cells. (a) represents typical picture of Western blot α-SMA, EGFR, p-EGFR, STAT3, and p-STAT3 in HSC-T6 cells. (b) shows histogram of EGFR and p-EGFR densities from the bands; (c) displays histogram of STAT3 and p-STAT3 densities from the bands; and (d) shows histogram of α-SMA densities. Relative levels of these proteins were normalized to the level of GAPDH. Data represent the mean ± SD from 6 experiments. ∗ indicates P < 0.05 compared to control group while # indicates P < 0.05 compared to HB-EGF treatment.
