Chronic cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition promotes myofibroblast-associated intestinal fibrosis.
Anti-inflammatory drugs prevent intestinal tumor formation, an activity related to their ability to inhibit inflammatory pathway signaling in the target tissue. We previously showed that treatment of Min/(+) mice with the selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor celecoxib induced rapid tumor regression; however, drug-resistant tumors appeared with long-term treatment. In this study, we inve...
متن کاملAntibody-targeted myofibroblast apoptosis reduces fibrosis during sustained liver injury.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Myofibroblast apoptosis promotes the resolution of liver fibrosis. However, retaining macrophages may enhance reversal. The effects of specifically stimulating myofibroblast apoptosis in vivo were assessed. METHODS A single chain antibody (C1-3) to an extracellular domain of a myofibroblast membrane protein was injected as a fluorescent- or gliotoxin conjugate into mice with l...
متن کاملThe Chemokine CCL3 Promotes Experimental Liver Fibrosis in Mice
Liver fibrosis is associated with infiltrating immune cells and activation of hepatic stellate cells. We here aimed to investigate the effects of the CC chemokine CCL3, also known as macrophage inflammatory protein-1α, in two different fibrosis models. To this end, we treated mice either with carbon tetrachloride or with a methionine- and choline-deficient diet to induce fibrosis in CCL3 defici...
متن کاملCytoplasmic domain of tissue factor promotes liver fibrosis in mice
AIM To evaluate the role of tissue factor (TF) and protease activated receptor (PAR)-2 in liver fibrosis. METHODS Using CCl4 administration for eight weeks, we induced hepatic fibrosis in wild-type C57BL/6 mice and in mice with deletion of the cytoplasmic signalling domain of TF (TF§CT/§CT), deletion of PAR-2 (PAR-2-/-) and combined deletion of TF signalling domain and PAR-2 (TF§CT/§CT/PAR-2-...
متن کاملAnimal Models Of Liver Cirrhosis And Fibrosis
Animal modeling is a crucial necessity in clinical studies of liver diseases. Authenticity of the data which are produced using this tool under different conditions and accuracy of the analyses and assessments which would be based on such data sets is completely dependent on the adoption of a standardized methodology for analyzes and assessment of these data sets. Cirrhosis and Fibrosis are amo...
