Qinggan Huoxue Recipe suppresses epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in alcoholic liver fibrosis through TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway

Figure 5 Qinggan Huoxue Recipe suppresses epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition by inhibiting the Smad signaling pathway. A: TGF-β1, Smad3 and Snail mRNA expression evaluated by RT-PCR; B: TGF-β1, Smad3 and Snail protein expression evaluated by Western blot. ^aP < 0.05 and ^bP < 0.01 vs Normal healthy control group; ^cP < 0.05 and ^dP < 0.01 vs Model ALF group. N: Normal healthy control group; M: Model ALF group; Q: Qinggan Recipe group; H: Huoxue Recipe group; QH: Qinggan Huoxue Recipe group.
