JNK or Rac1 inhibitor improved gankyrin-mediated liver fibrosis and prevented gankyrin-induced carcinogenesis after CCl4 management. (a)Gankyrinhep and littermate mice were injected with CCl4, CCl4+SP600125 or CCl4+NSC23766 for 4 weeks (n=6). Liver samples were collected for immunoblot for PARP and cleaved caspase-3. (b) Liver sections in a were subjected to Sirius red staining. (c) Serum from a was analyzed by ELISA for TNF-α or IL-6. (d) Representative images of liver sections, H&E and Sirius red staining of 16-week CCl4 or CCl4+SP600125-treated mice. Tumor incidence and Sirius red-positive staining were quantified. Data are represented as mean±S.D. *P<0.05. Scale bar, 100 μm. (e) Schematic representation of the potential mechanism of gankyrin in liver malignant transformation
