Caveolin-1 enhances transforming growth factor (TGF)-β/phosphorylated Smad2 (pSmad2) signaling in canine chondrocyte-like cells (CLCs) in vitro. Western blot analysis for pSmad2 and β-actin protein expression in chondrodystrophic (CD) canine CLCs after 24 h of treatment, expressed as pSmad2/β-actin ratio. T 2 2 ng/ml TGF-β1, T 10 10 ng/ml TGF-β1, C 10 10 μM CSD, C 25 25 μM CSD. The pSmad2/β-actin ratio in the T2-treated CLCs was set at 1
