Chrysophanol Prevents Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation by Upregulating Apoptosis, Oxidative Stress, and the Unfolded Protein Response

Figure 2

Effect of chrysophanol (Cho) and LPS on HSC-T6 cell morphology and α-SMA distribution. We observed cell morphology and α-SMA distribution using phase-contrast microscopy (PCM) and immunofluorescence (IF) staining, respectively, under the following conditions: control, LPS (LPS-treated), Cho (chrysophanol -treated), and Cho + LPS (chrysophanol and LPS-treated). Bar = 100 μm. n = 3.
