Transgene IL-37 expression is associated with improved survival, liver function tests, and reduced liver fibrogenesis after BDL. Wt and IL-37tg mice underwent BDL or sham operation. (A) Survival curve. (B) Liver function tests. (C) ECM deposition in liver sections as assessed and quantified by Sirius red staining. (D) Hepatic mRNA was quantified by qPCR 3 days after BDL. Fold changes of mRNA expression were calculated using the ΔΔCt-method normalized to Rpl13a gene expression. Open circles: Wt-sham (n = 5), Open boxes: Wt (n = 5), Closed boxes: IL-37tg (n = 6). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
