Liver regeneration stimulated by CCl4 depletes HGF mRNA and protein in HGF KO mice.

<p>(<b>A</b>) CCl4 treatment following genomic recombination further decreases full-length HGF mRNA, as assessed by real-time PCR. (<b>B</b>) WB shows decreased HGF expression in livers of HGF KO mice treated with CCl4 in combination with p(I):p(C), as compared to controls or those treated with p(I):p(C) only. Ponceau represents loading control.
