a Western blot analysis of Acp5a (p = 0.0029) and Acp5b (p = 0.0003) expression in primary mice lung fibroblasts (PMLFs) following TGF-β1 induction. b Western blot analysis of ACP5a (p = 0.0040) and ACP5b (p = 0.0455) expression in primary human lung fibroblasts (PHLFs) following TGF-β1 induction. c Representative results for coimmunostaining of Acp5 and p-Smad3 in PMLFs. The nuclei were stained blue by DAPI, and the images were taken under original magnification ×400. d–e Western blot analysis of Fibronectin (d: p = 0.0096, e: p = 0.0295), Col1a1 (d: p = 0.0003, e: p < 0.0001), α-SMA (d: p < 0.0001, e: p < 0.0001), Acp5a (d: p < 0.0001, e: p < 0.0001) and Acp5b (d: p = 0.02, e: p < 0.0001) expression in PMLFs following SB431542 (d) and SIS3-HCL (e) treatment. The data are represented as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments and two-side Student’s t-test was administered to analyze the statistical significance of differences between two groups. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
