Novel splicing variants of Smad4 expressed during TGF-β-induced EMT in A549 cells. (A) Schematic drawing shows the primer pairs used for NEST-PCR. (B) Representative image of RT-PCR to show the variant expression of Smad4 in A549 cells with or without TGF-β treatment as indicated. More than 3 times, independent experiment repeats were done. (C) Schematic drawing to show the structure of Smad4 and its variants based on sequencing results.
