Effects of fluid flow, air exposure and NIH 3T3 cells on MAPK expression in cervical cancer cells. Protein expression levels in cervical cancer cells evaluated by western blotting. Target protein expression was determined relative to that of α/β tubulin expression. The expression of each protein was normalized to the mean expression level in monocultured cells under IS conditions. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation of 3–5 determinations. *P < 0.05. **P < 0.001. Abbreviation: AF, air exposure under dynamic flow; AS, air exposure under static flow; IF, immersion under dynamic flow; IS, immersion under static flow; MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase.
