Fig. 4: ERG expression is independent of disease stage and etiology in cirrhosis.
From: Stiffness-induced modulation of ERG transcription factor in chronic liver disease
A IF and B corresponding quantification of ERG (green) expression in human healthy and cirrhotic liver tissue from two independent cohorts of patients. CD144 (red) was used as marker for ECs. For each experiment, sample distributions were assessed for normality (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test). Normally distributed data were compared with unpaired Student t test or with Ordinary One-way ANOVA test. Non-significant p-values not displayed. CD144=cluster of differentiation 144, DAPI = 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, C compensated (disease), DC decompensation, HCV hepatitis C virus, HBV hepatitis B virus, ALD alcohol related liver disease, MASH metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis, others autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis or primary sclerosing cholangitis, scale bar = 100 µm.
