mRNA levels of α-SMA (a), collagen I (b) and collagen III (c) in LX-2 cells by Q-PCR. LX-2 cells were stimulated by CsTPs, HBV positive serum, or a mixture of CsTPs and HBV positive serum (CsTP+HBV). LX-2 cells treated with HBV negative sera, BSA, or a mixture of BSA and HBV positive serum (BSA+HBV) were used as control groups. Specific primers were used to amplify the transcripts of related molecules from total RNAs of the LX-2 cells from each group by Q-PCR. mRNA levels were normalized relative to the β-actin expression. Data were shown as the mean values ± standard errors. Analysis by one-way ANOVA test indicated significant differences among the different groups (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs the control group. +P < 0.05, ++P < 0.01, +++P < 0.001 vs the CsTP+HBV group)
