Open AccessTranscriptomic analysis of the effects of Toll-like receptor 4 and its ligands on the gene expression network of hepatic stellate cells
Intact Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) has been identified in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), the primary fibrogenic cell type in liver. Here, we investigated the impact of TLR4 signaling on the gene expression net...

Knockdown of TRIM15 inhibits the activation of hepatic stellate cells
Liver fibrosis is a global public health problem, and the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is the main driving force for liver fibrosis. However, the activation mechanism of HSCs is still not fully ...

SREBF2 triggers endoplasmic reticulum stress and Bax dysregulation to promote lipopolysaccharide-induced endothelial cell injury
An increased lipopolysaccharide (LPS) level in patients with cirrhosis induced the dysregulation of sterol regulatory element–binding transcription factor 2 (SREBF2), which participated in the modulation of tu...
