Figure 6From: Regenerative and fibrotic pathways in canine hepatic portosystemic shunt and portal vein hypoplasia, new models for clinical hepatocyte growth factor treatmentWestern blot analysis of liver homogenates of controls, CPSS, and PPVH. Detection of HGF, c-MET, PKB, STAT, and ERK shown in (A), detection of the TGF-β1, Smad2, and Collagen I in (B), and detection of the Caspase-3protein, uncleaved/inactive 34 kDa, and cleaved/active products of 20 kDa and 13 kDa in (C). Western blot analysis of liver homogenates (n = 6 dogs per group, randomly chosen from original group). Lane samples: 1 = control; 2 = congenital portosystemic shunt; 3 = primary portal vein hypoplasia.Back to article page
