Fig. 7. Mass spectrometry quantitative evaluation of the abundance of three important proteins involved in liver fibrosis.

(a, c, e) Calreticulin (CALR) (a), galectin-3 (LGALS3) (c), and fibronectin (FN1) (e). (b, d, f). Validation of mass spectrometry data for calreticulin by western blotting (b) and qPCR (d) and for fibronectin by qPCR (f). Data are mean±SD of three biological replicates, each with three technical replicates. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.
