4. Figure 3
A2BAR−/− mice are resistant to the development of DSS-induced colitis. Animals were killed after 6 days of treatment. (D) Histologic assessment is represented as histologic score. Data were expressed as mean values ± SE for the group compared (wild-type [WT] + DSS and A2BAR−/− + DSS). *P < (E) Myeloperoxidase (MPO) was measured as an index of neutrophil infiltration into the injured tissue. Each bar represents the mean value ± SE (n = 5; P < .002). (F) Colonic tissue culture supernatants were processed for keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC) secretion. KC levels in WT mice treated with DSS are significantly higher compared with A2BAR−/− mice treated with DSS (P < .01).

5. Figure 4
AR effect on hepatocarcinogenesis. (A) HCC incidence in mice. Intraperitoneal injections of 20 mg/kg/mice of DEN were made into 12-day-old mouse pups. After various time periods, mice were killed and tumor formation observed. Mice were considered positive if tumors were visible to the naked eye. (B) Tumor foci in 36-week-old DEN-induced male mice (P < .05). (C) Liver weight/body weight ratio in 36-week-old DEN-induced male mice (P < .05). T-AR−/y, total knockout in whole body; L-AR−/y, liver-specific knockout.
