SSR reduced Smad3 acetylation in 5/6(A/I) rats by regulating Sirt1/Smad3 deacetylation pathway. (a) The protein levels of Sirt1,TGF-β1 and TGF-βR1 were determined by immunoblotting. (b) The ratio of Sirt1,TGF-β1 and TGF-βR1 to GAPDH protein was calculated. (n = 6) (c) Representative images of IHC staining for Sirt1. 400 × magnification. (d) Quantitative analysis of Sirt1 positive area(n = 4)(e) Immunoprecipitation and western blot analysis of Sirt1 and Smad3 acetylation in each group. (f) The ratio of Sirt1 and acetylated Smad3 to precipitated Smad3 protein was calculated. (n = 4) Values are mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
