Gene expression profiles during activation of cultured rat hepatic stellate cells by tumoral hepatocytes and fetal bovine serum
2010
Purpose
Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) transdifferentiate to become extracellular matrix-producing myofibroblasts during liver injury. Myofibroblasts can also promote invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we determined gene expression changes in two different models of HSC activation, induction-activated HSCs (iHSCs) and culture-activated HSCs (cHSCs).
