To explore the effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCs) on repairing CCl4-induced chronic liver injury in rats by intravenous injection and analyze the promising metabolites.
Since xenobiotics enter the organism via the liver, hepatocytes must cope with numerous perturbations. In particular, exposure to hepatotoxic agents resulting in liver injury triggers a strong alteration in gene expression. The contribution of these transcriptional regulatory networks to the propaga...
To investigate the differences in microRNA expression profiles between fibrotic and normal livers, we performed microRNA microarrays for total RNA extracts isolated from mouse livers treated with carbontetrachloride (CCl4) or corn-oil for 10 weeks (n=3/group). MicroRNAs were considered to have signi...
Autotaxin (ATX, Enpp2) is a secreted lysophospholipase D catalyzing the production of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a pleiotropic growth factor-like phospholipid. Upregulated ATX expression has been detected in various chronic inflammatory disorders and different types of cancer; among them increased...
Hepatic stellate cells are involved in the development of hepatic fibrosis. We here perform transcriptional profiling of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) isolated from Western diet/high fructose-fed C57BL6/J mice, carbon tretrachloride (CCl4)-treated C57BL6/J mice, and of murine HSCs differentiated in ...
Proteomics for CCL4-induced liver fibrosis。 To understand the transcriptome data of liver fibrosis induced by CCl4 in mice. Methods: C57BL/6 mice were used to duplicate the liver fibrosis model induced by CCl-4. After successful replication, liver proteins were extracted from mice for subsequent exp...
