Fig. 7From: Ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction optimized HGF-overexpressing bone marrow stem cells to repair fibrotic liver in ratsThe expression of a-SMA, collagen I, and vimentin mRNA. The a-SMA, collagen I, and vimentin mRNA levels were analyzed by qRT-PCR. Results were in consistent with Fig. 6. The mRNA of the three fibrotic indices was the lowest in BMSCs-HGF/UTMD group (mRNA in the control group was used as a benchmark) (*p < 0.05)Back to article page
