P2X7 blockade attenuates mouse liver fibrosis.
P2X7 is important in inflammation and tissue injury. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of P2X7 inhibition, using a specific inhibitor (A438079) to prevent the development of liver injury and fibrosis in a mouse model of liver fibrosis. The mouse liver fibrosis model was induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Mice received subcutaneous administration of vehicle (saline/...
متن کاملThymoquinone attenuates liver fibrosis via PI3K and TLR4 signaling pathways in activated hepatic stellate cells.
Thymoquinone (TQ) is the major active compound derived from the medicinal Nigella sativa. In the present study, we investigated the anti-fibrotic mechanism of TQ in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated rat hepatic stellate cells line, T-HSC/Cl-6. T-HSC/Cl-6 cells were treated with TQ (3.125, 6.25 and 12.5μM) prior to LPS (1μg/ml). Our data demonstrated that TQ effectively decreased activated T-HS...
متن کاملMest Attenuates CCl4-Induced Liver Fibrosis in Rats by Inhibiting the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway
BACKGROUND/AIMS The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway has been reported to play an important role in liver fibrosis. This study was designed to investigate whether mesoderm-specific transcript homologue (Mest), a strong negative regulator of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, could inhibit liver fibrosis. METHODS pcDNA-Mest was transfected into hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and rats. Rats were randomly d...
متن کاملCasticin attenuates liver fibrosis and hepatic stellate cell activation by blocking TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway
Although many advances have been made in understanding the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis, few options are available for treatment. Casticin, one of the major flavonoids in Fructus Viticis extracts, has shown hepatoprotective potential, but its effects on liver fibrosis are not clear. In this study, we investigated the antifibrotic activity of casticin and its underlying mechanism in vivo and i...
متن کاملImatinib mesylate (STI-571) attenuates liver fibrosis development in rats.
It is widely recognized that activated hepatic stellate cells (HSC) play a pivotal role in development of liver fibrosis. A platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is the most potent mitogen for HSC. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of imatinib mesylate (STI-571, Gleevec), a clinically used PDGF receptor (PDGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, on development of experimental liver fibros...
