Abstract excerpt
We have studied collagen synthesis and secretion in an established liver connective tissue cell line (GRX) that can be induced in vitro to express either the myofibroblastic or the fat-storing (lipocyte) phenotype. In lipocytes, collagen synthesis was reduced. Their intracellular collagen degradation corresponded to 15% of newly synthesized collagen. In myofibroblasts, collagen synthesis was high but its...
