The total cellular protein was isolated from ALR overexpressing cells and Western blots were performed. C, Control; EV, Empty Vector tranfected cells; and ALR, ALR expressing cells. A. The representative picture shows the Western blot results of α-SMA, rac1, COLL1A1 and β-actin (n = 3). B. The Western blots from 3 experiments of the firbogenic markers were quantitated using Image J software and presented as relative expression (*p<0.05, compared to control). C. Western blots were performed to determined the expression of TGF-β RII and E-cadherin. D. The band intensities of TGF-β RII and E-cadherin was quantitated by Image J software and presented as relative expression (n = 3; *p<0.05, compared to control).
