DHZCP regulates the protein expression of the p38 MAPK/TGF-β1/Smad pathway in MH-S cells induced by SiO₂. (a) Representative western blot bands of p38 MAPK, p-p38, NF-κB p65, p-p65, TGF-β1, α-SMA, Smad2, Smad3 and Smad7. (b) Quantitation of p38 MAPK, p-p38, NF-κB p65, p-p65, TGF-β1, α-SMA, Smad2, Smad3, and Smad7 in MH-S. The experiment was repeated three times. n = 3. and VS the NC group, ^#, ^## , and ^### VS the MC group.
