Curcumin-induced recovery from hepatic injury involves induction of apoptosis of activated hepatic stellate cells.
Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) undergo activation and transdifferentiation to myofibroblast like cells in liver injury, leading to liver fibrosis. During recovery from injury, activated HSCs may either revert back to quiescent state or undergo apoptosis or both. In the present study, we have examined whether recovery from hepatic injury involves apoptosis of activated HSCs and tested whether cur...
متن کاملblocking of smad4 expression by shrna effectively inhibits fibrogenesis of human hepatic stellate cells.
aim : in this study, to clarify the smad4blocking impact on fibrosis process, we investigated its down-regulation by shrna on activated human lx-2 cell, in vitro. background : liver fibrosis is a critical consequence of chronic damage to the liver that can progress toward advanced diseases, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc). different smad proteins play as major mediators in...
متن کاملGliotoxin-mediated apoptosis of activated human hepatic stellate cells.
BACKGROUND Activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play a central role in liver fibrogenesis, and apoptosis of activated HSCs might be essential to clear HSCs from injured liver. Gliotoxin induces apoptosis of activated human and rat HSCs by an unknown mechanism. AIM This study investigated the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and membrane permeability transition (MPT) in gliotoxin-induc...
متن کاملIn vitro reversion of activated primary human hepatic stellate cells
BACKGROUND Liver fibrosis is characterized by the excessive formation and accumulation of matrix proteins as a result of wound healing in the liver. A main event during fibrogenesis is the activation of the liver resident quiescent hepatic stellate cell (qHSC). Recent studies suggest that reversion of the activated HSC (aHSC) phenotype into a quiescent-like phenotype could be a major cellular m...
متن کاملThe Transcriptomic Response of Rat Hepatic Stellate Cells to Endotoxin: Implications for Hepatic Inflammation and Immune Regulation
With their location in the perisinusoidal space of Disse, hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) communicate with all of the liver cell types both by physical association (cell body as well as cytosolic processes penetrating into sinusoids through the endothelial fenestrations) and by producing several cytokines and chemokines. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), circulating levels of which are elevated...
