Wnt antagonism inhibits hepatic stellate cell activation and liver fibrosis.
Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC), a key event in liver fibrosis, is caused by diminished adipogenic transcription. This study investigated whether Wnt signaling contributes to "antiadipogenic" activation of HSC and liver fibrogenesis. Culture-activated HSC from normal rats and HSC from cholestatic rat livers were examined for expression of Wnt, Frizzled (Fz) receptors, and coreceptors...
متن کاملPTPRO-associated hepatic stellate cell activation plays a critical role in liver fibrosis.
BACKGROUND/AIMS PTPRO (protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type O) is implicated in diverse physiological and pathological processes in cancer and hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury, although little is known about its role in hepatic fibrosis. METHODS Here, by using genetically deficient mice, we reported that PTPRO knockout (PTPRO(-/-)) significantly attenuated liver injury, release of i...

متن کاملOrthotopic Liver Transplantation for Etanercept-Induced Acute Hepatic Failure; a case report
The occurrence of hepatotoxicity following etanercept (tumor necrosis factor-alpha antagonist) prescription, has been studied well. However, an acute hepatic failure leading to liver transplant as an adverse effect of this drug has not been reported in the literature. In this article, we are going to present a case of acute liver failure followed by liver transplantation, in a 32 years old man ...
متن کاملFlutamide-associated acute liver failure.
The nonsteroidal antiandrogenic drug flutamide [4'-nitro-3'-(trifluoromethyl)isobutyranilide] is a safe and generally well-tolerated drug used for the treatment of prostate cancer. We describe the case of a 74-year-old male who developed life-threatening acute liver failure during flutamide therapy. Other causes of acute liver failure were appropriately ruled out and there was no evidence of ac...
