Abcb4-defect cholangitis mouse model with hydrophobic bile acid composition by in vivo liver-specific gene deletion
5 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a liver disease that occurs during childhood and requires liver transplantation. ABCB4 is localized along the canalicular membranes of hepatocytes, transports phosphatidylcholine into bile, and its mutation causes PFIC3. Abcb4 gene-deficient mice established as animal models of PFIC3 exhibit cholestasis-induced liver injury. However, their phenotypes are...
