Abstract excerpt
Fat-storing cells (FSC) are the main producers of type I collagen in both normal and fibrotic livers. In order to elucidate the molecular mechanisms controlling collagen expression in FSC, we examined the transcription of the alpha 2(I) collagen gene (COL1A2) in two distinct FSC clones, CFSC-2G and CFSC-5H, derived from a single CCl4-induced cirrhotic liver. The phenotype of CFSC-2G resembles freshly isolated...
