Fig. 4From: Thymosin β4 alleviates renal fibrosis and tubular cell apoptosis through TGF-β pathway inhibition in UUO rat modelsEffects of different doses of Tβ4 on E-cadherin and a-SMA in TGF-β induced renal tubular cells. a and b mRNAs of E-cadherin and a-SMA were detected by qPCR. c E-cadherin and a-SMA proteins were detected by Western blot. d and e Quantification of C. △ P < 0.01 vs. the control group; # P < 0.05 vs. the TGF-β group; * P < 0.05 vs. The TGF-β + low-dose Tβ4. n = 4Back to article page
