## Abstract Transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) inhibits epithelial cell proliferation. Inactivation of the TGF‐β signaling pathway is thought to play a role in tumorigenesis. Our purpose was to clarify the correlation between TGF‐β receptors or TGF‐β1 expression and the clinicopathologic characte
## Abstract Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a hepatocyte growth factor and considered to play roles in liver fibrogenesis and hepatocarcinogenesis. In this study we examined the mechanism of the action of PTN in these pathological processes. First, we confirmed that hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and Kupffer
