Recurrent hepatitis C after liver transplantation is a serious problem faced by liver transplant recipients. Activation of hepatic stellate cells is an early step in hepatic fibrogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate hepatic stellate cell activation, early after liver transplantation, as a
The effect of endothelin (ET) 1 on intracellular Ca 2؉ transients in cultured rat hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) during transformation was studied by use of single-cell fluorescence. Regardless of the duration of HSC culture, ET-1 caused a BQ-123-sensitive but IRL-1038-insensitive elevation of [Ca 2؉
Hepatic stellate cell activation is a main feature of liver fibrogenesis. We have previously shown that phagocytosis of apoptotic bodies by stellate cells induces procollagen ␣1 (I) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-) expression in vitro. Here we have further investigated the downstream effe
