Fig. 8From: Protective mechanism of artemisinin on rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells against apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide via activation of c-Raf-Erk1/2-p90rsk-CREB pathwayArtemisinin activation of c-RAF (a), p90RSK (b), CREB (c) phosphorylation and increased expression level of Bcl-2 (d). BMSCs were treated with various concentrations of artemisinin for 1 h, and then, culture lysates were submitted for western blotting with respective antibodies (n = 3); *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.005 versus control group (0 μM)Back to article page
