23 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) and short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting different regions of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) mRNA were designed and the silencing effect was determined after transfection into immortalized rat liver stellate cells (HSC-T6). There was not only significant decrease in TGF-beta1, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1), alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and...
