Cygb-TG mice exhibited ameliorated inflammation after 10 weeks of TAA treatment. WT and Cygb-TG (TG) mice were subjected to TAA treatment for 10 weeks (TAA-10w). (a) Representative images of liver sections were immunostained for 4-HNE and neutrophils. P, portal vein; C, central vein. (b) Liver tissues from WT and Cygb-TG mice were examined for immunoblotting for phosphorylated- and total NF-κB. The densitometric intensity of phosphorylated-NF-κB was quantified. GAPDH was used as the loading control and for normalization. Full-length Western blots in one gel are presented in Supplementary Fig. S10. (c) Hepatic mRNA levels of the attractant chemokines Ccl-2 and Nox-2 were determined by RT-qPCR (n = 9 to 10). (d) The average number of neutrophil-positive cells per square millimetre in liver sections from WT and TG mice was quantified (n = 5). Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
