From: Salvianolic Acid B Attenuates Experimental Pulmonary Fibrosis through Inhibition of the TGF-β Signaling Pathway

Figure 1

SM was the Yiqihuoxue formula component that most strongly inhibited the TGF-β pathway.

(A) Relative activity of SBE, measured as luciferase activity, in NIH/3T3 fibroblasts treated with different components of the Yiqihuoxue formula. (B) Relative activity of SBE in NIH/3T3 fibroblasts treated with Yiqihuoxue formula from which single components had been removed. Data is presented as mean ± SD of three samples. Significant differences (as determined using one-way ANOVA test) are indicated by asterisks: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
