Effect of HG on cytokeratin and α-SMA expression. In parallel to morphologic changes, HG (B, C, E, and F) also decreased the expression of the epithelial marker cytokeratin (A through C) with an increase in the expression of α-SMA (D through F) at day 2 (B and E) and day 7 (C and F) compared with control (A and D). n = 5.
