Ginsenoside Rg1 Attenuates Cigarette Smoke-Induced Pulmonary Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition via Inhibition of the TGF-β1/Smad Pathway

Figure 2

Ginsenoside Rg1 alleviated CS-induced EMT in lung tissues. (a) The expressions of E-cad, α-SMA, and vimentin were measured by Western blots ((a), (b), (c), and (d)). The expressions of E-cad and α-SMA were measured by real-time PCR ((e) and (f)). All data were shown as the mean ± SD; . Statistical significance was assessed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc test. and versus normal group; and versus COPD group.
