From: Human uterine leiomyoma-derived fibroblasts stimulate uterine leiomyoma cell proliferation and collagen type I production, and activate RTKs and TGF beta receptor signaling in coculture

Figure 5

Secretion of FGF-2, PDGF-A and -B, and TGF-β3 in the media. (A) Western blots of growth factor proteins. (B) Densitometric intensity of growth factor proteins. There was a statistically significant (p = 0.02) increase in the secretion of FGF-2, PDGF-A and -B and TGF-β3 in the media of UtLM cells cocultured with fibroblasts (UtLM/FB) versus UtLM cells or FB cultured alone. All error bars represent SEM.
