GIPC-Regulated IGFBP-3 Promotes HSC Migration In Vitro and Portal Hypertension In Vivo Through a β1-Integrin Pathway
1 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Transforming growth factor (TGF-β)-induced activation of quiescent hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and their transformation to myofibroblasts is a key event in liver fibrosis and portal hypertension. GIPC (also referred to as synectin) is a downstream signal activation molecule of TGF-β and other receptors. In this study, we sought to identify novel genes targeted by TGF-β and GIPC and elucidate...
