TSA suppressed activation of primary rat HSCs. (A) Primary cultured rat HSCs were auto-activated during culture. This was confirmed by fluorescence image, immunofluorescent staining and oil red O staining. (B) Western blot analysis showed that the protein levels of collagen type I and α-SMA in day 10 HSCs were increased compared to day 3 cells. **p < 0.01 compared to day 3 group. (C) Expression of collagen type I, α-SMA and C/EBP-α in day 10 HSCs after treatment with TSA. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 compared to no treatment group.
