Figure 3From: TGFbeta induces apoptosis and EMT in primary mouse hepatocytes independently of p53, p21 Cip1 or Rbstatus TGFβ induces morphological changes regardless of genotype. The figure shows representative photos of control, Rb-/-, p53-/- and p21 Cip1-/- cells 72 hours after plating, TGFβ-treated or not for 48 hours. The cells were cultured in the presence of BrdU to assess proliferation indexes for another study [23]. The dark nuclei represent immunopositivity for BrdU. Negative nuclei are paler.Back to article page
