Figure Lengend Snippet: Wild-type (WT) and Mmp12−/− mice were treated i.p. with saline vehicle or 300 mg/kg APAP. (A) Representative photomicrographs (100X) of H&E-stained liver sections from vehicle- and APAP-treated mice at 24 hours. (B) The area of centrilobular necrosis in liver sections of APAP-treated WT and Mmp12−/− mice at 24 hours. (C) Plasma hyaluronic acid levels at 24 hours. (D) Representative photomicrographs showing H&E-stained cross-sections of the left lateral lobes from APAP-treated WT and Mmp12−/− mice at 48 hours. (E) Hepatic photomicrographs (200X) showing PCNA-positive hepatocytes 24 hours after APAP administration. (F) Quantification of PCNA-positive hepatocytes at 24 and 48 hours. N=9–20 mice/group. Data expressed as mean+SEM. Data were analyzed using a Student’s t-test (B, C) or using a two-way ANOVA (F). *Significantly (p<0.05) different from time-matched APAP-treated WT mice.
Article Snippet: For studies in which Fibγ 390-396A mice were rescued with exogenous MMP12, wild-type and Fibγ 390-396A mice were treated with APAP, and 6 hours later injected i.p. with 2 μg recombinant mouse MMP12 (rMMP12) (3467-MP, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) or saline vehicle.
