HPV16-E6 Oncoprotein Activates TGF- and Wnt/-Catenin Pathways in the Epithelium-Mesenchymal Transition of Cataracts in a Transgenic Mouse Model

Figure 9

Smad7 protein increases in a dose-dependent manner by isoindoline 2b iHDAC. Immunohistochemistry detection of Smad7 protein (showed by white arrows) in the lenses of K14E6 transgenic mice treated with two distinct nontoxic dosages of isoindoline 2b iHDAC versus a nontoxic dosage of TSA. Statistical significance: < 0.05 and < 0.001. Magnification: 10x.
