Phycocyanobilin accelerates liver regeneration and reduces mortality rate in carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury mice

Figure 4 Pathway of phycocyanobilin-accelerated liver regeneration. A-E: Results of real-time quantitative PCR detection at 1, 2, 3 and 5 d after CCl₄ treament. A: The expression of HGF; B: The expression of TGF-α; C: The expression of TGF-β; D: The expression of TNF-α; E: The expression of IL-6; F: The western blotting result of PCNA, TNF-α, and cytochrome C in liver tissue. C1-C5 indicates the results of the control group from day 1 to day 5, D1-D5 indicates the results of the PCB group from day 1 to day 5. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 and ^dP < 0.001 vs control.
