Characterization of krasV12-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in zebrafish larvae. 3-dpi kras+ or WT larvae were treated with 20 μg/ml for 4 days. More than 20 larvae were analyzed in each group. (A) Gross morphology of kras+ or WT larvae after 4 days induction (left lateral view). krasV12 expressing liver is marked by GFP expression and WT liver is outlined. Quantification of 2D liver size was shown in the right panel. (B-E) IF staining of PCNA (B), Caspase 3 (C), Collagen I (D) or Laminin (E) on liver sections of kras+ and WT larvae as indicated. Livers are marked by dash lines. Int indicates intestine. Quantifications of staining signals based on percentages of liver area are shown in the right panels. (F) IF co-staining of GFAP (red) and a-Sma (blue) on liver sections of kras+ and WT larvae as indicated. Quantifications of total HSC density based on Gfap+ cells and ratio of activated HSCs based on a-SMA staining in liver sections are presented on the right. *P < .05. Scale bars: 20 μm.
