FA inhibited the expression of fibrosis cytokines α-SMA and COLI in gene and protein levels. (A-B) The expression of α-SMA and COLI mRNA. (C-D) The expression of α-SMA and COLI proteins. Data of three independent experiments were represented by mean ± S.D. ∗∗∗p <0.001 TGF-β1 vs control; ∗∗p <0.01 TGF-β1 vs control; ∗p <0.05 TGF-β1 vs control. ###p <0.001 TGF-β1 + FA vs TGF-β1; ##p <0.01 TGF-β1 + FA vs TGF-β1; #p <0.05 TGF-β1 + FA vs TGF-β1.
