Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) Inhibits Collagen I and IV Synthesis in Hepatic Stellate Cells by miRNA-29 Induction (original) (raw)
Figure 2
Contrary influence of TGF-β and HGF stimulation on collagen, but also on TGF-β and HGF expression, itself.
Collagen 1A1 (col1A1), collagen 1A2 (col1A2), collagen 4A1 (col4A1), and collagen 4A5 (col4A5), HGF and TGF-β mRNA levels were compared by Real-Time PCR in untreated (−) and in HSC-T6 cells stimulated either with TGF- β (+TGF- β) (A) or with HGF (+HGF) (B).
