Periostin is up-regulated in hepatic fibrosis tissues and HSCs. (A) RNA was harvested from healthy (n = 8) and fibrotic (n = 10) human liver tissue, and the mRNA and protein expression of periostin were assessed by qRT-PCR and western blots, *P < 0.05 versus control; (B) represent western blots of periostin in quiescent and activated HSCs; (C) representative images of relative mRNA level of periostin in quiescent and activated HSCs. The expression levels of proteins were normalized based on the β-actin levels. *P < 0.05 versus quiescent.
