I-Smads suppressed the activation of freshly-isolated PSCs. The relative mRNA expression level of (A) α-SMA, (B) GFAP, (C) Desmin, (D) Col1, (E) Col3, (F) Fn1, and (G) CD133 was measured after 24 h and/or 48 h under the condition of over-expression of both Smad6 and Smad7 during activation of freshly-isolated PSCs. GFP was a negative control. β-Actin acted as an internal reference. The two-tailed Student’s t-test was performed to assess significance. ns, not significant; *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01; ***, P<0.001; ****, P<0.0001.
