aRatios indicated the fold changes of protein volume between Tan-IIA-treated and -untreated cells for each specific protein spot. The higher ratios (>2.0) mean the proteins whose expression levels were increased upon treatment of Tan-IIA, while lower ratios (<−2.0) indicate the proteins were downregulated under the exposure to Tan-IIA.
bP values were generated by analyzing the gel images using Prodigy SameSpots software. Differences were considered significant at P < 0.05.
