Fig. 4. Effects of MEG3 on Hh pathway.
Primary 4-day-old HSCs were transduced with Ad-MEG3 for 48 h. a In HSCs, Ptch1 mRNA was enhanced by MEG3, whereas the mRNA expressions of Smo and Gli3 were reduced by MEG3. b In HSCs, MEG3 induced an increase in Ptch1 protein and a reduction in the protein expressions of Smo and Gli3. c In CCl4 mice, Ad-MEG3 treatment enhanced Ptch1 mRNA and reduced the mRNA expressions of Smo and Gli3. d In CCl4 mice, Ad-MEG3 treatment resulted in an increase in Ptch1 protein and a decrease in the protein expressions of Smo and Gli3. *P < 0.05
