LPS Increases MUC5AC by TACE/TGF-α/EGFR Pathway in Human Intrahepatic Biliary Epithelial Cell
Figure 3
LPS increased MUC5AC expression through promoting EGFR activation in HIBECs. ((a), (b)) Western blot analysis showing that LPS increased pEGFR protein expression. ((c)–(e)) Western blot analysis showing that AG1478, an EGFR inhibitor, inhibited LPS-induced pEGFR and MUC5AC protein expression in HIBECs. Protein levels were measure by MUC5AC/β-actin. *.
