Changes in cellular ATP production and expression levels of HOs after BDL and/or CP-MSC transplantation. (a) Analysis of ATP levels in the liver tissues by the ATP assay. mRNA expression levels of HO-1 (b) and HO-2 (c), assessed by real-time PCR. GAPDH was used as an internal control for normalization. Data are expressed as a fold change related to the control group. (compared to the nontransplanted group). CTL: control group; NTx: nontransplanted group; Tx: transplanted group.
