FIGURE 3.
The regulatory effects of NOX4 and RhoA as well as the UA intervention effects on the F-actin polymerization levels in each group after TGF-β1 treatment (10 ng/mL) for 48 h. (A,B) WB analysis of F-actin in each group. The data are presented as the means ± SEMs of three replicates. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01 versus the CON group; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 versus the NOX4GV 358Lv group. (C,D) F-actin immunofluorescence staining in each group. Mean integral optical density (IOD) values were measured by Image Pro Plus 6.0 software; 10 different fields of vision were randomly selected. Original magnification, 400×.
