Expression of Gal and its receptors GalR1 and GalR2 in cholangiocytes, hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), and hepatocytes in liver of FVBN and Mdr2KO mice by laser-capture microdissection (LCM). Liver sections from male and female FVBN and Mdr2KO mice, 2 months of age, were processed by LCM. A: Relative expression of Gal mRNA in cytokeratin (CK) 19–immunolabeled cholangiocytes, CK8-immunolabeled hepatocytes, and desmin-immunolabeled HSCs. B: Relative expression of GalR1 mRNA in CK19-, CK8-, and desmin-immunolabeled cells. C: Relative expression of GalR2 mRNA in CK19-, CK8-, and desmin-immunolabeled cells. n = 4 (A–C). *P < 0.05 Mdr2KO versus FVBN; †P < 0.05 CK8 or desmin versus CK19.
