Measurement of secretin, VEGF-A and NGF levels in total (containing both apical and basolateral domains) ECCs as well as basolateral and apical domains of ECCs. The levels of secretin secreted from total ECCs (containing both apical and basolateral domains) were higher compared the basolateral and apical domains of ECCs, whereas similar levels of VEGF-A and NGF were detected between the basolateral and apical domains of ECCs and total ECCs. Data are mean ± SEM of six evaluations. *p<0.05 vs. the levels of secretin in the basolateral and apical domains of ECCs.

ECCs, extrahepatic cholangiocyte cultures; NGF, nerve growth factor; SEM, standard error; VEGF-A, vascular endothelial growth factor-A.
