Figure 3: VHL overexpression attenuated hepatic fibrosis in mice.

Ad-Null or Ad-VHL were injected initially in Sham, BDL, Oil or CCl4 group (A,B and C), or injected in the established liver fibrosis models (D and E). (A) Representative liver sections of Sirius Red/Fast Green staining (original magnification, 100x) (B) Quantification of Sirius Red/Fast Green staining intensities (*p < 0.001). (C) Western blot analysis of VHL, HIF-1α, and HIF-2α expression, and the gels have been run under the same experimental conditions. (D) Representative liver sections of Sirius Red/Fast Green staining (original magnification, 100 x) (E) Quantification of Sirius Red/Fast Green staining intensities (*p < 0.001).
