Treatment with transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) induces SMAD2 signaling in stromal cells from the endometrium (EndoSCs), dermis (DermSCs), and adipose tissue (AdipoSCs). (A) Representative Western blotting of EndoSC, DermSC, and AdipoSC lysates obtained before TGF-β1 treatment (lane “0”), at 96 h in control culture (lane 96/–), or at 96 h after addition of 10 ng/ml TGF-β1 (lane 96/+). (B) Densitometry analysis of Western blotting for pSMAD2 in stromal cells demonstrating the effect of TGF-β1. Individual donor (n = 3) data presented as fold change relative to the level before TGF-β1 treatment (logarithmic scale) with SMAD2 loading control used for normalization. Paired t-test was used for statistical analysis of log-transformed data; p < 0.05.
