Cytokine gene expression by Kupffer cells in experimental alcoholic liver disease
1 Oct 1995
Abstract excerpt
Kupffer cell-derived cytokines are believed to play pivotal paracrine roles in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). To evaluate this hypothesis, Kupffer cell gene expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα), interleukin (IL)-6, and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGFβ1) were directly examined in the rat model of ALD. Kupffer cells were isolated from the model after 10 and 17 weeks of...
