Figure 4 Lipocalin-2 mRNA expression was increased in hepatitis C virus-infected patients with increasing stage of fibrosis (A), grade of inflammation (B) or grade of steatosis (C).
D and E: Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) staining by immunohistochemistry was minimal in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients with stage 1 fibrosis (D; 400 × magnification) compared with stage 4 fibrosis (E; 400 × magnification); F: Increased LCN2 protein expression in HCV-infected patients with stage 3/4 fibrosis. P < 0.05 vs fibrosis stage 0 (A), inflammation grade 1/2 (B) steatosis grade 0 (C) or fibrosis stage 1 (D).
