Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells Suppress Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 Production in Response to TGFβ Pathway Activation
13 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: TGFβ/bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling in the liver plays a critical role in liver disease. Growth factors, such as BMP2, BMP6, and TGFβ1, are released from LSECs and signal in a paracrine manner to hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells to control systemic iron homeostasis and fibrotic processes, respectively. The misregulation of the TGFβ/BMP pathway affects expression of the...
