Dietary Flavonoid Hyperoside Induces Apoptosis of Activated Human LX-2 Hepatic Stellate Cell by Suppressing Canonical NF-κB Signaling

Hyperoside attenuated LX-2 activation. (a) Western blotting analysis of α-SMA and collagen I. The relative expression of proteins was calculated according to the reference band of β-tubulin. (b) mRNA levels were quantitated by real-time PCR. The expression was analyzed by 2^-ΔΔCT method. 18s mRNA was used as a housekeeping gene ( compared with the control group, ; compared with the control group, ,   ).
