Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) play a key role in the development of pancreatic fibrosis. The molecular mechanisms underlying their activation in response to profibrogenic mediators, however, are largely unknown. Extending previous studies on the transcriptional regulation of PSC activation, we have now focused on the involvement of activator protein (AP)-1. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using...
