Effect of pBMP-9 and SpBMP-9 on the activation of the canonical Smad1/5 pathway. (A) Western blots of phosphorylated Smad1/5 (pSmad) and densitometric analysis of pSmad1/5 as referred to total Smad (TSmad) showing the effect of 1 nM BMP-9, pBMP-9 and SpBMP-9 +/− 10 μM RA in SH-SY5Y cells after incubation for 0, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 240 min. (B) Pictures showing the nucleus (blue) and the pSmad1/5 (red) in SH-SY5Y cells stimulated with an equimolar concentration of BMP-9, pBMP-9 or SpBMP-9 (1 nM) +/− 10 μM RA after incubation for 240 min. Results are representative of 2 independent experiments performed in duplicate (Bar = 100 μm).
