TGFβ-induced osteopontin expression is exacerbated in Ssh1−/− mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts were generated from Ssh1+/+ and Ssh1−/− embryos and treated with 2 ng/mL TGFβ for 24 h. Ssh1+/+ and Ssh1−/− MEFs were harvested for protein and lysates were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and western blot. Membranes were immunoblotted for a OPN (*p < 0.0001, n = 6 independent experiments; **p < 0.0001, n = 6 independent experiments; ***p < 0.0001, n = 6 independent experiments) b CNN1 and SM22 (representative blot, n = 3 independent experiments)
