Stellate Cells Activation and Extra-Cellular Matrix: New Targets for Therapeutic Intervention in Fibrosis [PDF]
Hepatic stellate cells are perisinusoidal cells characterized by vitamin A containing lipid droplets and 10 nm desmin filament in their cytoplasm. In an injured liver, stellate cells were activated through two major phase i.e, initiation and perpetuation

Cellular deconvolution of GTEx tissues powers discovery of disease and cell-type associated regulatory variants. [PDF]
The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) resource has provided insights into the regulatory impact of genetic variation on gene expression across human tissues; however, thus far has not considered how variation acts at the resolution of the different cell ...

Preliminary investigation of the effects of long-term dietary intake of genistein and daidzein on hepatic histopathology and biochemistry in domestic cats (Felis catus) [PDF]
Dietary isoflavones have been hypothesised to play a role in hepatic veno-occlusive disease in captive exotic felids, although empirical evidence is lacking. This study aimed to investigate the effect of long-term (>1 year) dietary genistein and daidzein

Lipid overload suppresses SREBF2‐mediated FNTB expression, leading to defective Lamin A maturation and nuclear envelope instability. This nuclear catastrophe triggers a pro‐fibrotic senescence program in cardiomyocytes. Notably, restoring nuclear integrity via AAV9‐based gene therapy effectively attenuates cardiac remodeling, identifying the ...

Hepatic stellate cells and parasite-induced liver fibrosis
Fibrogenesis is a common feature of many diseases where there is severe insult to the liver. The hepatic stellate cell trans-differentiation into a myofibroblast has been identified as an important event in liver fibrogenesis and has been well ...

Toll-like receptor-mediated signaling cascade as a regulator of the inflammation network during alcoholic liver disease [PDF]
Chronic abuse of alcohol leads to various histological abnormalities in the liver. These are conditions collectively known as alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Currently, ALD is considered to be one of the major causes of death worldwide.

By integrating data from in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models, our research identifies the MARV glycoprotein as a remarkable hemorrhagic factor, filling a major gap in this important field. It also provides practical experimental tools for the basic research on viral pathogenesis and applied research aimed at antiviral intervention for hemorrhagic ...

Overexpression of endoglin modulates TGF-β1-signalling pathways in a novel immortalized mouse hepatic stellate cell line. [PDF]
Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play a major role in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis. Working on primary HSCs requires difficult isolation procedures; therefore we have generated and here characterize a mouse hepatic stellate cell line expressing GFP ...

Hemojuvelin-Neogenin Interaction Is Required for Bone Morphogenic Protein-4-induced Hepcidin Expression [PDF]
Hemojuvelin (HJV) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked protein and binds both bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) and neogenin. Cellular HJV acts as a BMP co-receptor to enhance the transcription of hepcidin, a key iron regulatory hormone secreted ...

ADAMTS13 is expressed in hepatic stellate cells [PDF]
ADAMTS13 is a circulating zinc metalloprotease that cleaves the hemostatic glycoprotein von Willebrand factor (VWF) in a shear-dependent manner. Deficiency in ADAMTS13, owing to genetic mutations or autoimmune inhibitors, causes thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TPP). Northern blot analysis has shown that ADAMTS13 is expressed primarily in the liver.
