a PK and SPK cells were analyzed for the expression of Smad4, PAK3, and JNK-Jun signaling-related factors by Western blotting and the experiment was repeated three times independently with similar results. b Western blots showing the effects of Smad4 overexpression in SPK cells and the experiment was repeated three times independently with similar results. c IHC staining detected the expression of Smad4, PAK3, p-JNK, and p-Jun in mouse lung tumors of PK and SPK mice. Scale bar, 25 μm (magnification, ×40). d Quantification of the average percentage of Smad4, PAK3, p-JNK, and p-Jun positive cells in mouse lung tumors of PK and SPK mice. Data presented are the mean ± SEM from three biologically independent samples (n = 3); *p = 0.001802131; **p = 0.007103699; ***p = 0.001259358; ****p = 0.000180321; as determined by two-tailed Student’s t-test.
