Effect of FSH in the presence or absence of PD98059 on ERK-1/-2 (p44/p42) activation. The P-MAPK normalized by T-MAPK was analyzed in a time-dependent manner by immunoblot analysis in IOSE-29 cells treated with FSH. Data are shown as the means of three individual experiments, and are presented as the mean ± SD. a, P < 0.05 vs. untreated control; b, P < 0.05 vs. FSH (100 ng/ml) treatment for 10 min. 1, untreated control; 2, FSH (100 ng/ml) treatment for 5 min; 3, FSH (100 ng/ml) treatment for 10 min; 4, FSH (100 ng/ml) treatment for 20 min; 5, FSH (100 ng/ml) treatment for 60 min; 6, FSH (100 ng/ml) plus PD98059 (50 μM) treatment for 10 min; 7, PD98059 (50 μM) treatment.
