Fig. 4: UM171 induces markers of HSCs in HEL cells.

A–E HEL cells were treated with UM171 (6 μM), LGH447(5 μM), and UM171 + LGH447 for 24 hours and subjected to Q-RT-PCR analysis for the indicated genes. F HEL cells were treated with UM171 (6 μM), LGH447(5 μM), and UM171 + LGH447 for 24 hours and subjected to western blot analysis for detection of ERK and Phospho-ERK. GAPDH was used as a loading control. G–I Q-RT-PCR analysis of HEL cells treated with the indicated compounds for expression of HBA1 (G), HBA2 (H), ZFP36L1 (I).
