A. HNF4α protein levels in whole liver lysates from mice that were subjected to CLP or sham surgeries. B. HNF4α target gene expression in four groups of mice. C-E. Mice (male and female) were treated with TAA (200mg/L in the drinking water) or received water only and subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). One week before surgeries mice were treated with AAV.TBG.control or AAV.TBG.Hnf4a vectors at 10^11 gc/mouse. C. INR and PT in these mice one day before or one day after CLP. D-E. Relative gene expression in these mice. F. Correlation between gene expression of Hnf4a and HNF4α target genes in control (water/sham+water/CLP) groups and TAA/CLP group. *, P<0.05, **, P<0.01, ***, P<0.001.
