The majority of persons with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection develop liver fibrosis. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of post-inflammatory liver scarring. To clarify the influence of HCV infection on liver fibrosis, a reporter assay was used
After a partial hepatectomy, TGF-a mRNA has been shown of chronic liver disease; CH, chronic hepatitis; LC, liver cirrhosis; LI, labeling index; RTto increase in hepatocytes at the time of DNA synthesis con-PCR, reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction; cDNA, complementary DNA.
To assess the clinical relevance of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) in chronic liver disease, urinary TGF-beta1 and circulating aminoterminal propeptides of type III procollagen (PIIINP) levels were determined by radioimmunoassay in 100 cirrhotic patients, 44 patients with chronic hepat
