From: Induction of heme oxygenase-1 protects against nutritional fibrosing steatohepatitis in mice
Effects of HO-1 on α-SMA and TGF-β1 expression in MCD diet-induced fibrosing steatohepatitis. mRNA expression of α-SMA (A1) and TGF-β1 (B1) were determined by real-time quantitative PCR; protein levels of α-SMA (A2) and TGF-β1 (B2) were detected by Western blot. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 6 per group). *P < 0.001, compared with the control group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001, compared with MCD group; $P < 0.01, $$P < 0.001, compared with MCD+Ad-GFP group.
