Figure 4. — AKF-PD alleviates TGF-β1-induced α-SMA and collagen I expression in HSCs. AKF-PD decreases TGF-β1-induced (A) α-SMA and (B) collagen I expression in HSCs, as determined by western blot analysis. Untreated cells were used as a negative control. *P<0.05 vs. control group; ^#P<0.05 vs. TGF-β1-treated group. AKF-PD, fluorofenidone; TGF, transforming growth factor; SMA, smooth muscle actin; HSC, hepatic stellate cell; PS, pig serum.
