In liver injury, hepatic stellate cells are considered to depart from the sinusoidal wall and accumulate in the necrotic lesion through migration and proliferation. In this study, we investigated the migratory capacity of quiescent stellate cells in vitro and analyzed the relationship with prolifera
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؉
Transiently transfected cell lines and transgenic mice were used to study the transcriptional activity of the 5-flanking region of the catalase gene. Fragments of the 5-flanking region of the rat catalase gene ranging in length from 3,421 base pairs (bp) to 69 bp were fused to the chloramphenicol ac
## Abstract ## Background/aims Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ1) is considered the key mediator in the process of liver fibrosis. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the activity of ribozymes against TGFβ1 in a cell‐free system and activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), and anti
