Figure 3: Reduced C1QTNF2 mRNA and protein expression in mouse primary HSCs and ethanol-injured liver.

From: Transcriptome-based repurposing of apigenin as a potential anti-fibrotic agent targeting hepatic stellate cells

Figure 3

(A) C1QTNF2 expression in freshly isolated (“quiescent”) and 7-day-cultured (“activated”) mouse primary HSCs13 (expression DNA microarray, n = 3). *p < 0.001, t-test. (B) C1QTNF2 protein expression in livers from mice fed with Lieber DeCarli ethanol-containing diet normalized to calnexin (Western blotting, n = 5). *p < 0.05, t-test. Bar graphs show mean and standard error of mean (SEM) (error bars) of replicated experiments.
