Fig. 5

hASCs were cultured on MBP-FGF2 surface, or treated with soluble form of FGF2, or MBP-FGF2 proteins. Total RNAs, proteins, and conditioned medium were prepared and analyzed by RT-qPCR, western blot, and ELISA, respectively. A Effect of various FGF2 ligands on IL-8 RNA. Values were normalized to GAPDH. ns not significant, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 (one-way ANOVA), n = 3 per group. B Effect on IL-8 protein. ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 (one-way ANOVA), n = 3 per group. C Effect on JNK phosphorylation. D Effect on p65 phosphorylation. For western blot analysis, β-actin was used as a loading control. All data are presented as mean ± SD.
