Western blotting was performed as described in our previous publications (Lan et al. 2013 (link), 2016 (link); Wen et al. 2019 (link)). The acquired images were analyzed using the NIH image program in the public domain. Primary antibodies used were rabbit anti-Grem1 (Novus Biologicals, NBP1-31150, 1:1000), rabbit anti-P-Smad2/3 (Abcam, ab63399, 1:1000), rabbit anti-P-Smad1/5/8 (Millipore Sigma, AB3848-I, 1:1000), and mouse anti-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-8432, 1:3000). For protein expression quantification, films were scanned using a Canon Scan 9950F scanner.
