To study the expression of MHC Class I1 subregion gene products on biliary epithelial cells in primary biliary cirrhosis, frozen sections from liver biopsies of 15 patients with primary biliary cirrhosis were studied immunohistochemically using HLA-D subregion specific monoclonal antibodies L243 (HL

Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 is one of the rate-limiting enzymes in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins and other eicosanoids. Recent studies have shown enhanced expression of COX-2 in cancer cells of several tissues. We investigated the expression of COX-2 and prostaglandin (PG) E 2 prod
Gender differences in hepatic sex steroid and drug metabolism result from hormonal regulation of specific cytochrome P450 genes (CYP). In male rats, bile duct ligation (BDL) is associated with down-regulation of the male-specific genes, CYP2C11 and CYP3A2, together with a decrease in serum testoster
Hepatolithiasis and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are intractable chronic biliary diseases. In hepatolithiasis, bilirubin-calcium stones are packed in multiple irregularly dilated intrahepatic bile ducts. In PSC, small bilirubin-calcium stones develop terminally. The progressive periductal fi
