hAMCs transplantation suppressed hepatocyte apoptosis and promoted hepatocyte regeneration.

<p>(A) Micrographs of liver paraffin sections from control group and hAMCs group stained immunohistochemically for TUNEL and PCNA. (B) Representative Western blots of liver extracts from two groups for expression of HGF and bcl-2. β-actin was used as an invariant control. HGF and bcl-2 protein levels relative to β-actin protein level were assessed by densitometric analysis. Each value is the mean±SEM of determinations in 8 mice of each group. *p<0.05 compared with control group.
