Figure 2. BMP signalling results in activation of the BMP-SMAD, but not BMP-MAPK pathways in human keratinocytes and fibroblasts.
Epidermal keratinocytes (A) and dermal fibroblasts (B) were treated with 50 ng/ml recombinant BMP-4 or vehicle control, the cell lysates were prepared at different time-points and analysed by immuno-blotting using antibodies against phospho-Smad1/5/8, phospho-p38 MAPK, phospho ERK1/2, and phosphor-JNK. Representative examples of three to four experiments are shown.
