Exosomes of mesenchymal stem cells reduce cholesterol-induced hepatic fibrogenesis by inhibiting TGF-β/Smad3 signaling pathway in LX2 cells
2022-11-11
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Dietary cholesterol is involved in the development of liver fibrosis, because free cholesterol accumulates in HSCs, can lead to Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) sensitization to TGFβ. HSCs play a crucial role in the liver fibrosis process. This pathway can be targeted by anti-fibrotic therapies. MSCs-derived exosomes are known as the new mechanism of cell-to-cell communication which shows...
