Hepatic stellate cells are the major cellular sources of extracellular matrix in chronic liver diseases leading to fibrosis. We explored the antifibrogenic effect of two histone deacetylase inhibitors, sodium butyrate and trichostatin A (TSA), on this cell type in vitro. Primary hepatic stellate cel

The endogenous cannabinoid anandamide (AEA) is a lipid mediator that blocks proliferation and induces apoptosis in many cell types. Although AEA levels are elevated in liver fibrosis, its role in fibrogenesis remains unclear. This study investigated effects of AEA in primary hepatic stellate cells (
The effect of endothelin (ET) 1 on intracellular Ca 2Ψ 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 2Ψ
Oxidative stress is associated with liver fibrosis and with hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation in vivo. However, it remains controversial whether oxidative stress contributes to HSC activation either directly or through a paracrine stimulation by damaged hepatocytes. A medium containing products
