Figure 2. SEA inhibits fibrosis by promoting HSCs senescence.

Figure 2

(a) SEA-induced senescence as indicated by SA-β-Gal activities. Dimethyl Sulphoxide (DMSO) and Etoposide (ETO) served as the negative and positive control for senescence, respectively. (b) Statistical analysis for the percentage of SA-β-Gal positive cells among LX-2 cells treated with or without SEA (10 μg/ml). (c) SEA inhibited LX-2 cell proliferation as determined by MTT. (d,e) Cell cycle distribution was measured by flow cytometry analysis at 2 days following SEA treatment. Statistical differences between groups are shown as follows: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
