mRNA expression levels. mRNA analyses indicated that the expression of vimentin, αSMA, CD49f, keratin 19, keratin 13 and AQP5 was significantly higher in the group with bFGF compared to the control group at AOD 7. Data represent means ± standard deviation. *P < 0.05. AOD, after operation day; AQP5, Aquaporin 5; bFGF, basic fibroblast growth factor; αSMA, α-smooth muscle actin.
