Inhibition of p38 significantly abolished the inhibitory effect of MBL on cellular proliferation.

Cell proliferation rates were determined by CCK-8 assay (A). The expression levels of p21 (B), cyclinD1 (C), and Cdk4 (D) were measured by real-time RT-PCR. Each bar represents the mean ± S.D. of three independent experiments. Indicated levels of statistical significance were; * p<0.05, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001 as compared with the control or DMSO cultures.</p> 2013-09-06 01:45:16 p38 abolished inhibitory mbl cellular
