Effect of TGF-β1 on the biosynthesis of PC species as modulated by TGF-βR1 inhibitor. PC synthesis was monitored by ESI-MS/MS in the presence of 10 ng/ml TGF-β1 (black bars) with or without 10 µM TGF-βR1 inhibitor SB431542 (white bars) for 16 hours (n = 5). The percentages of labelled PL species were calculated and then normalized as a ratio compared to the corresponding untreated control. Data are expressed as means ± SDs of the x-fold change of % labelled PL species compared to untreated controls (=1). *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001; TGF-β1 versus control, or TGF-β1 + SB431542 versus TGF-β1. PC = phosphatidylcholine.
