Integrin-Linked Kinase (ILK) Regulates Urinary Stem Cells Differentiation into Smooth Muscle via NF-κB Signal Pathway

Figure 3

(a–d) ILK promotes the differentiation of USCs to SMCs. Western blot and qRT-PCR of ILK, calponin, aSMA, SM22 in USCs with LPTP (ILK+), and control USCs were quantified to show relative protein and mRNA levels (a, b). Similarly, Western blot and qRT-PCR of ILK, calponin, aSMA, SM22 in USCs with knocking down ILK (ILK-), and control USCs were quantified to show relative protein and mRNA levels (c, d).
