Inhibitory Effect of the LY2109761 on the Development of Human Keloid Fibroblasts

Figure 5

LY2109761 inhibits the Smad2/Smad3 signaling pathway. Keloid-derived fibroblasts were treated with increasing doses of LY2109761. (a) Representative western blots showing protein expression of Smad2 and Smad3 and their respective phosphorylated forms (p-Smad2 and p-Smad3). (b) Relative protein expression levels are shown as the from three independent experiments. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GADPH) was used as an internal control. between LY2109761 groups and DMSO control; between LY2109761 5 μM and 10 μM treatment groups.
