Figure 7

Detection of phosphorylated (p)-MAPK44/42. (A) Western blots. There was a significant increase in the expression of p-MAPK44/42 in the UtLM/FB compared to cultures of UtLM cells or FB alone at 24 h, 48h and day 7. (B) Densitometry. There was a significant increase in the expression of p-MAPK44/42 in cocultured UtLM cells compared to non-cocultured UtLM cells and FB at 24 h (p < 0.0001), 48 h (p = 0.05) and day 7 (p = 0.05). There were no differences observed between the culturing conditions for total (t)-MAPK44/42 expression. All error bars represent SEM.
