The Role of the Sinusoidal Endothelium in Liver Function.
نویسنده
چکیده
Microvascular exchange in the liver is governed by fenestrations in sinusoidal endothelial cells and can be manipulated pharmacologically. Microvascular exchange is affected in alcoholic liver disease and cirrhosis, the former leading to a loss of fenestrae, the latter to sinusoidal capillarization and thereby to loss of liver function in disease.

Effects of silibinin on hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion injury in the rat model
Objective(s): Liver ischemia-reperfusion injuries (I/RI) are typically the main causes of liver dysfunction after various types of liver surgery especially liver transplantation. Radical components are the major causes of such direct injuries. We aimed to determine the beneficial effects of silibinin, a potent radical scavenger on liver I/RI.Materials...
متن کاملThe role of liver sinusoidal cells in local hepatic immune surveillance
Although the liver's function as unique immune organ regulating immunity has received a lot of attention over the last years, the mechanisms determining hepatic immune surveillance against infected hepatocytes remain less well defined. Liver sinusoidal cells, in particular, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and Kupffer cells (KCs), serve as physical platform for recruitment and anchori...

متن کاملExpression of DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR on human sinusoidal endothelium: a role for capturing hepatitis C virus particles.
Hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells are unique among endothelial cells in their ability to internalize and process a diverse range of antigens. DC-SIGNR, a type 2 C-type lectin expressed on liver sinusoids, has been shown to bind with high affinity to hepatitis C virus (HCV) E2 glycoprotein. DC-SIGN is a closely related homologue reported to be expressed only on dendritic cells and a subset of...
