Matrix remodeling associated 7(MXRA7) deficiency inhibits and MXRA7 overexpression promotes the expression of fibronectin and TIMP1. Livers were isolated from different groups of mice 24 h after 1 ml/kg CCl₄ injection. (A,B) Expression of fibronectin (in green) in livers was detected using immunofluorescence analysis. Representative images from different groups are shown. Scale bar = 100 μm. (C,D) Expression of COL1A1 and TIMP1 mRNAs in livers was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative real-time PCR. Data are presented as the summary of two experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
