Effects of SK on target gene levels in NRK-49F cells stimulated with TGF-β1. Abundance of (a) α-SMA, (b) STAT3 and (c) JAK2 mRNA relative to that of β-actin in each group of NRK-49F cells. The data are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 3); ^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01, ^###P < 0.001 versus 0 ng/mL TGF-β1; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 versus 10 ng/mL TGF-β1
