The effect of SMG on hepatocyte proliferation. (a) Immunostaining analysis of Ki67 (left panels), PCNA (center panels) and PH3 (right panels) in the rat liver of the control, TS-14, TS-28 and TS-42 groups. Scale bar, 50 μm. (b) Quantification of the Ki67-, PCNA- and PH3-positive cell number in the liver of the control, TS-14, TS-28 and TS-42 groups, n=6. (c) RT-qPCR analysis of gene expression related to cell cycle regulation such as CCNA2, CCND1, CDK1, CDK2 and FOXM1 in the rat liver of the control and TS groups. n=6. (d) Protein levels of PCNA, cyclin D1, cyclin D3 and CDK2 were analyzed by western blotting. n=3. The intensity of the protein bands was semi-quantitatively analyzed using ImageJ software. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 compared to Control. SMG, simulated microgravity; TS, tail suspension.
