Figure 10. Effect of Kp-10 on human ASM proliferative signaling pathways.
Western blot analysis showed PDGF-induced activation of p38 (A) Akt (B), and ERK1/2 (C) in human ASM cells. Pretreatment with Kp-10 significantly reduced the PDGF-induced phosphorylation of p38, Akt, and ERK1/2. Data are reported as a minimum to maximum of 6 individual samples from people without asthma and analyzed using 1-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. *P < 0.05 vs. vehicle; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 vs. PDGF-exposed groups.
