Myocardin‐related transcription factor A drives ROS‐fueled expansion of hepatic stellate cells by regulating p38‐MAPK signalling
1 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
We describe in this letter a novel retrograde signalling mechanism that highlights a myofibroblast-specific role for myocardin-related transcription factor A (MRTF-A), also known as MKL1, in liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis is considered a common pathological process in virtually all end-stage liver diseases. Absent from the liver under physiological conditions, myofibroblasts quickly emerge and expand as a result...
