Figure Lengend Snippet: Upregulated hepatocyte-derived IL-25 promotes the formation of METs in liver fibrosis. A qPCR analysis of 31 kinds of Interleukins expression in 4 W LFib mice liver tissues, The heatmap and bar graph visually represent the fold changes of IL-25 and other interleukins. ( n = 6 per group). B qPCR analysis of 31 kinds of Interleukins expression in AML-12, stimulated with culture medium containing 0.2% CCl₄ for 12 h. The heatmap and bar graph visually represent the fold changes of IL-25 and other interleukins. ( n = 6 per group). C Double immunofluorescence staining of mouse liver tissue sections using HNF4α and Il-25 antibodies, with DAPI for nuclear counterstaining with the semi-quantitative results of the processed images from each group, yellow arrows indicate hepatocyte-derived IL-25 (HNF4α⁺Il-25⁺). ( n = 6 per group). Mean ± SEM; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. Student’s t-test
