Apoptosis failed to explain the protective role of HO-1 in HMP. (a) Identification of hepatocyte apoptosis was conducted on liver sections on day 7 in vivo and (b) at 6 h in vitro by the terminal dUTP nick-end labelling (TUNEL) assay (n = 6; scale bar: 200 μm), and the percentage of TUNEL-labelled nuclei was quantified. (c) Transcriptomic (qRT-PCR) analysis of caspase 3 and (d) Bcl-2/Bax in liver tissues from HO-1+/− and WT (HO-1+/+) rats on day 7 in vivo and at 6 h in vitro (n = 6). The data represent the mean ± SD.
