The ROCK inhibitor ripasudil enhances hepatocyte liver engraftment
(A) C57 mice were transplanted with luciferase-expressing hepatocytes. The effects of the ROCK inhibitor ripasudil, nonmuscle myosin II ATPase inhibitor blebbistatin, β1-integrin agonist pyrintegrin, and Src kinase inhibitor dasatinib on hepatocyte liver engraftment were analyzed by bioluminescence imaging on days 3 and 5 after intrasplenic infusion. (B and C) Quantification of bioluminescence imaging of mice on days 3 and 5 after hepatocyte transplantation. Data are shown as the means ± SEMs (n = 3). ∗p < 0.05.
