Characterization of intracellular pathways leading to coinduction of thrombospondin-1 and TGF-β1 expression in rat hepatic stellate cells

Accumulating evidence has identified Thrombospondin (TSP)-1 as important activator of latent TGF-β. Since little is known about signal transduction pathways regulating TSP expression in liver, we investigated cytokine-mediated upregulation of TSP-1 and TGF-β1 in primary rat hepatic stellate cells (H...
