Figure 6

Heat map for the fold change of selected gene markers in different culture systems for primary buffalo hepatocyte 3D culture. The expression of the markers, HNF4α, AAT, PCNA, AFP, GSP, CK18, and CPS, was not significant between fresh and cultured cells. However, the expression of the markers, GAPDH, ALB, CK8, CYP1A1, and TAT, was significantly (P < 0.05, indicated as ★) different between fresh and cultured cells. The green and red colours indicate higher and lower fold change in the gene expression, respectively, than that of fresh cells. The circled culture systems are considered as best than other culture methods for culturing buffalo hepatocytes for 6 days in a 3D manner.
