Fig. 5 Effects of modulating proteasome activity on liver regeneration. (A) Representative Western blots demonstrating levels of Psmd2 and Pcna proteins during liver regeneration after the PH surgery. (B) Representative Western blots demonstrating effects of MG132 on Psmd2 and Pcna expression during liver regeneration after the PHx surgery. The line chart and bar chart below the Western blots demonstrate the abundance of the target proteins relative to that of β-actin. Different letters above the error bars denote significant differences among the means (p < 0.05, n = 3, one-way ANOVA followed by Duncan’s test); *, p < 0.05, n = 3 (independent samples t-test).
