Materials and Methods

PBC scoring of liver fibrosis in 12 to 84 weeks old Abcb4ko mice. Correlation analysis is based on Test z versus 12-weeks-old mice (PPTX 69 KB)

Abcb4ko mouse age, gender and number. Experiment 1 was used to investigate chronic liver disease development and progression. Experiment 2 was performed to test the anti-fibrotic efficiency of Galunisertib. (PPTX 36 KB)

Negative controls for IHC as used in this study. In the same staining batch, negative controls by omitting first antibodies were included. Scale bars are 100 µm. (PPTX 5991 KB)

Body and liver weight as well as liver enzymes upon Galunisertib treatment in 26-weeks-old Abcb4ko mice. a–c mouse and liver weight, and liver as percentage of total body weight. No significant difference is present due to Galunisertib administration. d–f) liver enzymes in Galunisertib, vehicle and untreated mice. e) H&E staining across different groups. Scale bars are 200 µm. Data are means ± SD of 5–7 mice per group. N.S.: P > 0.05; *: P < 0.05; **: P < 0.01 compared with untreated ...

Fig. S1 Liver cell proliferation, resident macrophage and leucocyte numbers upon Galunisertib treatment in 26-weeks-old Abcb4ko mice. a) Representative images of Ki-67 (proliferation marker), F4/80 (resident macrophages) and CD45 (leukocyte common marker) positive signals in liver tissues upon Galunisertib or vehicle administration. Scale bars are 100 µm. b and c) show numbers of proliferating hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells, as indicated by Ki-67 positivity. d and e) quantification of F4/80 ...

Inducible Cre system and fate tracing cells using tamoxifen

Representative NMR spectra of different metabolites across the groups. and c) NMR-based metabolomics heatmaps of liver tissue revealed different patterns upon TAM administration. Red and green colors refer to upregulated and downregulated genes, respectively. The p value indicates the statistical difference between the presented groups (JPG 2849 KB)
