Expression changes of TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway-related factors. Western blot and qRT-PCR was used to detect the protein and mRNA expression of TGF-β, Smad2, and p-Smad2. a Representative Western blot results. b–d Quantitative Western blot results of TGF-β1, Smad2, and p-Smad2, respectively. e and f mRNA levels of TGF-β and Smad2 by qRT-PCR. *P < 0.05, compared with control; #P < 0.05, compared with 25 μg/mL Exo
