Effect of hAMSC-CM on TGF-β1-induced HSC activation. Gene expression analysis of HSCs with or without TGF-β1 in SM or hAMSC-CM, analyzed by qRT-PCR for (a) Tgfbr1, (b) α-Sma, and (c) ECM-related genes. (d) Relative Mmp-13/Timp-1 expression ratio. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (). and versus SM; versus SM + TGF-β. qRT-PCR, quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction.
