Gene expression profiles of hepatic cell-type specific marker genes in progression of liver fibrosis

Figure 6 Marker genes for hepatocytes. Expression profiles of whole liver or isolated hepatocytes during fibrogenesis were obtained using a rat Genome U34A Array (Affymetrix). Marker genes for hepatocytes, which are the main contributors to the expression profile of the whole liver, are listed. Expression intensities are given for d 0, and expression intensity data for d 4, 7, 14, 21 and 28 are displayed as ratios to the d 0 expression data. Italics indicate an “absent” call by the Affymetrix software. Genes with the highest or lowest ratio in the chronic phase are shown in bold text.
