Fig. 1

A Representative TEM images in normal adjacent non-tumor livers (HC) and biliary atresia (BA) livers. Red arrows indicate enlarged mitochondria, blue arrows indicate swollen nucleus, and yellow arrows indicate enlarged vacuoles. Scale bar: 2 μm. B Representative TUNEL staining images in HC and BA livers. Yellow arrows: TUNEL+ cells. Scale bar: 45 μm. C Western blot analysis for p-MLKL and ZBP1 in the liver tissues from BA (n = 8) and HC (n = 6). Blots of p-MLKL were normalized to MLKL, and blots of ZBP1 were normalized to α-tubulin. D Representative image of TUNEL (green) and p-MLKL (pink) staining in BA livers. Yellow arrows: TUNEL+p-MLKL+ cells. Scale bar: 20 μm. E Representative images of p-MLKL (green) or ZBP1 (green) staining. The nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Yellow arrows: p-MLKL+ or ZBP1+ cells. Scale bar: 30 μm. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001 (versus control).
