From: One-step approach for full-thickness skin defect reconstruction in rats using minced split-thickness skin grafts with Pelnac overlay

Fig. 12

Pelnac decreases transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and increases TGF-β3 expression in regenerated dermal tissue on day 35 post-operation. (Left) TGF-β1, TGF-β3, and α-SMA levels following treatment with Pelnac or Vaseline gauze as overlay were detected by western blotting. (Middle and right) quantitative analysis of relative protein levels; the level in normal skin was set to 1. Data are presented as mean ± standard devistion. Error bars indicate standard deviation. Statistical analysis was performed by Student's t-test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. GAPDH glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
