(a) Histological assessment and representative images of PCNA positive hepatocytes in 48h partial hepatectomy injured Rel
flfl, RelΔAlb (p=0.0003) and Rel
ΔLysM (p=0.0096) mice. Scale bar is 100 microns. (b) Graph shows average liver/body weight ratio 48h post partial hepatectomy in Rel
flfl, RelΔAlb (p=0.0318) and Rel
ΔLysM (p=0.0178) mice. (c) Heat map showing relative hepatic mRNA expression of cell cycle genes; Ccna1, Ccnd1, Ccne1, Cdk2, Cdk4 and mitogenic proteins; Hgf and Egf at 48h post partial hepatectomy in Rel
flfl, RelΔAlb and Rel
ΔLysM mice. Data are mean ± s.e.m. in n=5 mice/group. P values were calculated using one-way ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc t-test (* P <0.05 and ** P <0.01).
