The effect of TGF-β1/Smad signaling in S. japonicum-infected mice. a The expression of the transcript of TGF-β1, Smad2/3, Smad4, and d Smad7 in primary HSCs at different time points was determined by RT-qPCR. b The expression of the protein of TGF-β1, Smad2/3, Smad4, and e Smad7 was detected by Western blot, c, f, and the densitometric analysis was normalized to the level of β-actin in primary HSCs. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, compared with the 0 wpi group
