Fig 2. LAB decreased the TGF-β-induced HSCs-activation markers in vitro.

Fig 2

Relative mRNA levels of the cell activation markers, such as LOX and LOXL-2 in LX-2 cells after stimulation with the LAB strains and TGF-β. LX-2 cells, either with the medium or TGF-β alone was used as a negative and positive control. Two independent experiments (n = 3) were performed, and the average values (mean + S.D) are shown. *p <0.05, ** p <0.01, ***p <0.001.
