Probing into the Mechanism of Alkaline Citrus Extract Promoted Apoptosis in Pulmonary Fibroblasts of Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis Mice

Figure 5

CAE promotes the expression of apoptosis-related signal protein: primary pulmonary fibroblasts treated with or without CAE at various concentrations for 48 h. (a) Western Blot analyses of Cleaved-Caspase 3 and Cleaved-PARP; -tubulin was used as an invariant control for equal loading. Representative blots were from three independent experiments. Data are expressed as mean ± SD . versus control; versus control; versus control. (b) Western Blot data showing the protein expressions level of different apoptosis-related protein (Cleaved-Caspase 8, Fas, and FasL). Data are expressed as mean ± SD . versus control, versus control; versus control; versus control.
