Action of endothelins on hepatic stellate cells
Journal of Gastroenterology, 1995To elucidate the role played by hepatic sinusoidal cells in the regulation of the circulatory status in the liver, the effect of endothelins (ETs) on primary-cultured stellate cells was examined. Kinetic analysis with 125I-labeled ET-1 revealed that stellate cells have ET receptors with a Kd value of 141 pM and a Bmax of 12.3 fmol/10(5) cells. ET-1, -2,

Hepatic Stellate Cells in Liver Tumor
2020Hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma are the most common types of primary liver cancers. Moreover, the liver is the second most frequently involved organ in cancer metastasis after lymph nodes. The tumor microenvironment is crucial for the development of both primary and secondary liver cancers.

Hepatic stellate cells—the pericytes in the liver
Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2013Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are pericytes of liver in the space between parenchymal cells and sinusoidal endothelial cells of the hepatic lobule. HSCs comprise specialized functions such as vitamin A storage, hemodynamic functions, support of liver regeneration, and immunoregulation.

Signal transduction in hepatic stellate cells
Liver, 1998ABSTRACT— Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) are presently regarded as one of the key cell types involved in the progression of liver fibrosis and in the related pathophysiological and clinical complications. Following acute or chronic liver tissue damage, HSC undergo a process of activation towards a phenotype characterised by increased proliferation ...

Isolation and Culture of Hepatic Stellate Cells
2005Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are routinely prepared by collagenase/pronase digestion of liver using a perfusion system and subsequent fractionation of the heterogeneous cell suspension on continuous density gradients made out of Nycodenz, metrizamide, stractan, or percoll.

Hepatic and pancreatic stellate cells in focus
bchm, 2009Abstract Stellate cells are vitamin A-storing cells of liver and pancreas and have been described in all vertebrates ranging from lampreys (primitive fish) to humans, demonstrating their major importance. This cell type is thought to contribute to fibrosis, a condition characterized by an excess deposition of extracellular matrix ...

Structure and function of hepatic stellate cells
Medical Electron Microscopy, 2004Hepatic stellate cells (vitamin A-storing cells, lipocytes, interstitial cells, fat-storing cells, Ito cells) exist in the space between parenchymal cells and sinusoidal endothelial cells of the hepatic lobule and store 80% of retinoids in the whole body as retinyl palmitate in lipid droplets in the cytoplasm.

Carl Kupffer, by the use of a gold chloride staining method, detected in mammalian livers a population of stellate-shaped cells that were located perisinusoidally, always attached to the sinusoidal capillaries and also to the parenchymal cells (Kupffer 1876, cited by Wake 1980).

Modulation of hepatic stellate cells and reversibility of hepatic fibrosis
Experimental Cell Research, 2017Hepatic fibrosis (HF) is the pathological component of a variety of chronic liver diseases. Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) are the main collagen-producing cells in the liver and their activation promotes HF. If HSC activation and proliferation can be inhibited, HF occurrence and development can theoretically be reduced and even reversed.

In 1876, von Kupffer discovered star-shaped cells in the hepatic lobules using the gold chloride method, and called them “Sternzellen” (stellate cells). In 1898, however, he misconstrued these cells as phagocytic cells. The original stellate cells were rediscovered in 1971.
