FAD104 negatively regulates phosphorylation level of Smad3 with TGF-β1 treatment in HeLa cells. (A) Phosphorylation levels of Smad3 in fad104 knockdown HeLa cells. HeLa cells were transfected with siRNA targeting fad104 (sifad104-A) and treated with 1 ng/mL TGF-β1 for 6 h. (B) Phosphorylation levels of Smad3 in HeLa cells overexpressing FAD104. HeLa cells were infected with FAD104 and treated with 1 ng/mL TGF-β1 for 6 h. Whole-cell lysates were subjected to Western blot analysis and β-actin was used as a loading control. Signal intensities from phospho-Smad3, total Smad3, and β-actin were quantified using NIH-Image software. Each column represents the mean with standard deviation (n = 3). Significant differences are indicated as **p < 0.01 and *p < 0.05.
