Effect of growth factors or inhibitors against map kinases (MAPKs) under serum‐free culture conditions. (A): Phosphorylation status of TGFβ‐activated kinase 1 (Tak1) under various growth factor stimulations. (B): Dose‐dependent mitogenic effect of TGFβ1 on the serum‐free culture of bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). Cells were stained with crystal violet dye. (C): Colony formation assay after limited dilution. Cells were stained with crystal violet dye. (D): Relative cell numbers after 7 days culture under each inhibitor treatment conditions. Asterisks represent significant differences (p < .05, n = 3) compared with nontreatment control. Abbreviation: pTak1, phosphorylated Tak1.
