Hepato-biliary profile of potential candidate liver progenitor cells from healthy rat liver

Figure 5 Representative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction characterization of undifferentiated and differentiated rat fibroblastic-like liver derived cells in comparison with rat hepatocyte suspension. Hepatic markers: Cytokeratin 8 (CK8), hepatic nuclear factor 4 (HNF4), tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT), tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO), α-fetoprotein (αFP), albumin (Alb), UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1), glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase); Biliary marker: CK19; Mesenchymal markers: Vimentin (Vim), fibronectin (Fn), α-smooth muscle actin (ASMA); Cell surface markers: Integrin β-1 (CD29), hyaluronic acid receptor (CD44), tyrosine phosphatase (CD45), ecto-5’-nucleotidase (CD73), Thy-1 (CD90), endoglin (CD105); Housekeeping gene: Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH).
