Fig. 3From: LncRNA FTX represses the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease to hepatocellular carcinoma via regulating the M1/M2 polarization of Kupffer cellsFTX expression and the value of M1/M2 KCs were reduced during NAFLD conversion to HCC. a qRT-PCR assay was applied to detect the expression of FTX in liver tissues from each animals. b, c The percentage of M1 and M2 KCs were ensured by flow cytometry and analyzed. d The expression of iNOS, TNF-α, CD206 and IL-10 mRNAs were measured by qRT-PCR. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ##p < 0.01Back to article page
