SAA promotes p38 and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in RASMCs. RASMCs were treated with 10 µg/ml SAA at indicated time points. (a) Phosphorylated and total p38, ERK1/2, JNK, and Akt levels in cell lysates were detected by Western blot. (b) Statistical analysis of the Western blot results. versus the control group. Data shown are means ± SD from three independent experiments.
