Background: p160ROCK is a direct Rho target which mediates Rho-induced assembly of focal adhesions and stress fibers. We previously reported that Rho signaling pathways are involved in the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) in vitro. The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that an inhibitor specific for p160ROCK (Y27632) could prevent experimental hepatic fibrosis induced by...
Backgroundl Aims: In the fibrotic response to liver injury, hepatic stellate cells are activated, leading to the myofibroblastic cell shape, with actin cytoskeletal reorganization and increased extracellular matrix production. The reorganization of actin cytoskeleton suggests that the small GTP binding protein Rho might modulate the process of this myofibroblastic change. The aim of this study was...
