Neuropilin-1 expression in sinusoidal endothelial cells in regenerating liver. A: Immunofluorescent examination of neuropilin-1 (Nrp-1) in control liver and regenerating liver 72 h after partial hepatectomy. Green: Nrp-1; Red: Sinusoidal endothelial cells stained with SE-1; Blue: Nuclei stained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI). Scale bar, 50 μm; B: Graphic representation of the percentage of immunostained area with anti-Nrp-1 antibody in relation to the area stained with SE-1 (%). Results are expressed as the mean ± SE. aP < 0.05, bP < 0.01 vs control liver (n = 3). PHx: Partial hepatectomy.
