Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) survive and proliferate in the chronically injured liver. ATPbinding cassette (ABC) transporters play a crucial role in cell viability by transporting toxic metabolites or xenobiotics out of the cell. ABC transporter expression in HSCs and its relevance to cell viabilit

Adiponectin limits the development of liver fibrosis and activates adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is a sensor of the cellular energy status, but its possible modulation of the fibrogenic properties of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) has not been established. In this stud

Hepatic stellate cells are considered to be liver-specific pericytes that play a key role in liver fibrosis. Because these cells express desmin and smooth muscle alpha-actin, they were assumed to be of myogenic origin. This hypothesis became doubtful when it was reported that stellate cells also exp
