Treatment with αCXCL16 (experimental design as in Fig. 3A) did not significantly affect hepatic fibrosis in the MCD-induced chronic liver injury, as assessed by collagen deposition in Sirius red histological stainings (Fig. 4A), by serum ALT levels (Fig. 4B) or by quantification of the hepatic hydroxyproline content (Fig. 4C) as a sensitive measure for collagen fibers in the liver. The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is Hepatic fibrosis.
