Increased expression of c-Met promoted by hCG relies on the protein kinase A signaling pathway. (A) Detection of the protein expression of c-Met following hCG exposure using western blot analysis. (B) Analysis of the protein expression of c-Met following PKAI treatment using western blot analysis. Data represent the mean ± SD of 3 experiments at each concentration. GAPDH was used as the reference gene. c-Met, hepatocyte growth factor transmembrane protein receptor; PKAI, protein kinase A inhibitor; hCG, human chorionic gonadotropin; DMSO, dimethylsulfoxide.
