Development of liver inflammation and fibrosis in CBL-/-CBL-B-/- mice is independent of lymphocytes. (A) Body weight comparison between 12-week-old RAG1-/- and RAG1.CBL tko mice (n = 5). (B) Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of RAG1-/-, CBL-/-CBL-B-/-, and RAG1-/-CBL tko mice (n = 20). (C) Serum Cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α production in RAG1-/- and RAG1.CBL tko mice by ELISA (n = 3-4). (D) Serum inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in RAG1.CBL tko mice. (E) Images of skin jaundice (left) and histology analysis of liver fibrosis revealed by H-E staining (right panel) and Masson staining (right panel). Data are mean ± SEM. of at least two independent experiments (C–E). N.S., not significant; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
