The Ethanol Extract of Fructus trichosanthis Promotes Fetal Hemoglobin Production via p38 MAPK Activation and ERK Inactivation in K562 Cells

Figure 4

The effect of FT-EtOH extract and HU (25  g mL−1) on - (filled square) and -globin (open square) expressions of K562 cells. K562 cells were treated with indicated concentrations of FT-EtOH extract and HU for 6 days. The mRNA expression of - and -globin gene of each group was quantified by real-time PCR. The results are expressed as mean     SD of three cultures. The data are representative of three separate experiments. *,# , significantly different from corresponding non-treated control group.
