Figure 6From: Human uterine leiomyoma-derived fibroblasts stimulate uterine leiomyoma cell proliferation and collagen type I production, and activate RTKs and TGF beta receptor signaling in cocultureExpression of phosphorylated (p)RTKs. (A) pRTK array. The array detected activated RTKs for GFs under both culturing conditions (B) Densitometry. There was an overall increase in the expression of 5 pRTKs in the UtLM/FB compared to UtLM cells cultured alone. Significant (p = 0.02) increases in the phosphorylated receptors, ErbB4 and PDGFα/β, were found in the UtLM/FB compared to UtLM cells cultured alone. All error bars represent SEM.Back to article page
