摘要: Sinusoidal Ito cells (stellate or fat-storing cells) undergo excessive cellular proliferation before the establishment and progression of hepatic fibrosis cirrhosis. Retinoic acid transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) both inhibit Ito-cell [3H]thymidine incorporation in serum-containing media. Serum-induced mitogenicity was dependent on platelet-derived (PDGF). Additionally, pre-treatment with retinoic TGF blocked PDGF-induced cell proliferation. beta, but not acid, diminished PDGF-receptor smooth-muscle alpha-actin abundance.
