Abstract excerpt
Accumulation of bile acids (BA) and cholangiocyte proliferation occur in cholestasis, but BA effects on the proliferative and secretory capacity of cholangiocytes are undefined. Cholangiocyte proliferation coupled with increased expression of H3 histone and secretin receptor (SR) genes and secretin-stimulated adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) levels is limited to large cholangiocytes. We isolated pooled...
