Representative Western blot results of erk1/2 and p-erk1/2 after 48 hrs in TCs-educated and Non-educated ESCs. A. Representative Western blot results of erk1/2 and p-erk1/2 proteins in both groups. B. The ratio of p-erk1/2 to erk1/2 was significantly increased in TCs-educated ESCs (*P < 0.05 versus Non-educated ESCs). This indicated that the ERK signaling pathway was involved in the activation of TCs-educated ESCs. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. The mean and SD were calculated from at least 9 values from three separate experiment.
