Figure Lengend Snippet: ALK2/ALK3 type I receptors and BMPR2 type II receptor mediate BMP6-induced phosphorylation of SMAD1/5/8 in KGN cells. a KGN cells were pretreated for 1 h with DMSO, DM (10 µM), DMH-1 (0.25 µM), or SB431542 (10 µM), and cells were then treated with 100 ng/mL of BMP6 for another 6 h. The levels of phosphorylated SMAD1/5/8 protein levels were examined using Western blot analysis. b KGN cells were transfected with siCtrl, siALK2, siALK3, or siALK6 for 24 h, and cells were then treated with 100 ng/mL of BMP6 for another 1 h. The phosphorylated SMAD1/5/8 protein levels were examined using Western blot analysis. c KGN cells were transfected with siCtrl, siALK2, siALK3 or combined siALK2 and siALK3 for 24 h, and cells were then treated with 100 ng/mL of BMP6 for another 1 h. The phosphorylated SMAD1/5/8 protein levels were examined using Western blot analysis. d–f KGN cells were transfected with siCtrl, siBMPR2 ( d ), siACVR2A ( e ), or siACVR2B ( f ) for 48 h, and cells were then treated with 100 ng/mL of BMP6 for another 6 h. The phosphorylated SMAD1/5/8 protein levels were examined using Western blot analysis. g–h KGN cells were transfected with siCtrl, combined siBMPR2 and siACVR2A, combined siBMPR2 and siACVR2B, or combined siACVR2A and siACVR2B for 48 h, and cells were then treated with 100 ng/mL BMP6 for another 6 h. The phosphorylated SMAD1/5/8 protein levels were examined using Western blot analysis
