doi: 10.1002/1873-3468.15069
Figure Lengend Snippet: Roles of C/EBPα in the expression of MC/basophil‐related transcription factors and effects of the TGF‐β stimulation on the expression of basophil‐specific proteases and related transcription factors. (A, B) Messenger RNA levels of transcription factors in Cebpa siRNA‐transfected (A) and Cebpa ‐overexpressing (B) BM cells. (C) Effects of the TGF‐β treatment on BM cells cultured for 7 weeks. The results shown in figure are the mean ± SE of data obtained by 7 (A), 4 (B), and 3 (C) independent experiments. Significance was assessed by the two‐tailed unpaired Welch's t ‐test (A–C). * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01.
