Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) on the proliferation, adhesion, migration, invasion and apoptosis of activated human hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and to explore the relevant potential mechanisms. METHODS: Human HSCs LX-2 were cultured with SAM. The proliferation and adhesion were detected by CCK-8. Cell apoptosis rate were analyzed by flow cytometry, and cell migration and...
