Liver Sinusoidal Cells
Sequestration and degradation of red blood cells (RBC) are believed to occur in part in the liver, but the magnitude and cellular localization of this process remain uncertain. This problem was studied in rats by investigating isolated parenchymal and sinusoidal cell populations of the liver. After digesting the perfused liver with pronase, hepatic sinusoidal cells were isolated free of RBC and...
متن کاملLiver sinusoidal endothelial cells and liver regeneration.
Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) have long been noted to contribute to liver regeneration after liver injury. In normal liver, the major cellular source of HGF is the hepatic stellate cell, but after liver injury, HGF expression has been thought to increase markedly in proliferating LSECs. However, emerging data suggest that even after injury, LSEC expression of HGF does not increase ...
متن کاملKupffer cells mediate leptin-induced liver fibrosis.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Leptin has profibrogenic effects in liver, although the mechanisms of this process are unclear. We sought to elucidate the direct and indirect effects of leptin on hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). METHODS HSCs from Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to leptin and expression of collagen-I, tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP1), transforming growth factor beta1 (...
متن کاملLiver sinusoidal endothelial cells are insufficient to activate T cells.
Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) have been reported to express MHC class II, CD80, CD86, and CD11c and effectively stimulate naive T cells. Because dendritic cells (DC) are known to possess these characteristics, we sought to directly compare the phenotype and function of murine LSEC and DC. Nonparenchymal cells from C57BL/6 mice were obtained by collagenase digestion of the liver foll...
متن کاملHormonal control of glycogenolysis in parenchymal liver cells by Kupffer and endothelial liver cells.
Conditioned media of isolated Kupffer and endothelial liver cells were added to incubations of parenchymal liver cells, in order to test whether secretory products of Kupffer and endothelial liver cells could influence parenchymal liver cell metabolism. With Kupffer cell medium an average stimulation of glucose production by parenchymal liver cells of 140% was obtained, while endothelial liver ...
