Figure Lengend Snippet: CSC effects on the expression of RTK activation upregulating downstream effector protein, MAPK, in human cervical epithelial cells. ( A ) Expression of growth factor RTKs in HPV-16 Ect/E6E7 cells shown by representative RTK array (top) and as quantitated dot blot intensity (0 and 10 µg/mL) values (mean + SE) at the bottom. ( B ) Western blotting for phosphorylated MAPK44/42. Data are represented as mean ± SE; * p < 0.05 compared with the control group. Significance was expressed as mean ± SE of at least three replicates.
Article Snippet: The array was conducted following the manufacturer’s instructions to detect phosphorylated tyrosine sites on RTKs (#ARY001B, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA).
