Figure 8
qRT-PCR assay of TGF-β-pathway-related genes deregulated in HepG2 responding to Akbu-LAAO administration.
The comparisons of the level changes of targeted genes in HepG2 cells in absence of Akbu-LAAO, in presence of 38.82 μg/mL Akbu-LAAO, in presence of 38.82 μg/ml Akbu-LAAO plus 0.2 mg/ml catalase. ACTB was used as the internal reference. The fold changes were represented as mean ± SD from triplicate assays. *, **, *** and **** denote P < 0.05, <0.01, <0.001 and <0.0001, respectively.
