Fig. 6. Changes in the levels of Ttc3 mRNA, Smurf2 mRNA, proteins Smurf2, Smad2, Smad3, Tgfr1, E-cadherin, vimentin, and α-SMA in mouse lungs.

Fig. 6

Bleomycin (2 mg/kg) was administered to 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice through their trachea under anesthesia. After 3 weeks of bleomycin administration, lungs were harvested. a Levels of Ttc3 mRNA, Smurf2 mRNA, proteins Smurf2, Smad2, Smad3, Tgfr1, E-cadherin, vimentin, and α-SMA. Data are expressed as means ± SD. Asterisks indicate statistically significant difference between the CON and BLEO groups (N = 8 in each group, P < 0.01). b Correlation analyses. All the data from both CON (blank circle) and BLEO (black circle) groups were collected together for correlation analysis
