Effect of CGF on levels of healing-growth factors in fistula tissues of pigs. (a) The expression of PDGF, VEGF, TGF-β1, PCNA, α-SMA, Col1A1, Col3A1, TIMP-1, C-fos, and MMP-3 mRNA in tissue samples as examined by real-time PCR. (b) The protein levels of Vimentin were determined by immunofluorescence experiments. (c) The protein levels of PDGF, VEGF, TGF-β1, PCNA, α-SMA, Col1A1, Col3A1, TIMP-1, C-fos, E-cadherin, Vimentin, p-MEK1/2, MEK1/2, p-ERK1/2, and ERK1/2 were determined by immunoblotting. , vs. control group.
