RANKL Is Involved in Runx2-Triggered Hepatic Infiltration of Macrophages in Mice with NAFLD Induced by a High-Fat Diet

Figure 2

Both RANKL and Runx2 increased during NAFLD development. (a) RANKL and Runx2 protein expressions in the liver were identified by western blot. (b) Statistical analysis of the protein expression of RANKL and Runx2. (c) Relative mRNA expressions of RANKL and Runx2 were detected by Real-Time PCR. (d) Serum productions of RANKL were measured by ELISA. (e) The correlation between Runx2 and RANKL protein expression in the HFD group. . vs. controls, vs. controls, and vs. NAFLD.
