Glucocorticoids activate TGF-β induced PAI-1 and CTGF expression in rat hepatocytes
BACKGROUND: In addition to the activation of hepatic stellate cells TGF-β govern apoptosis and growth control of hepatocytes in liver injury. In non-parenchymal cells, TGF-β induces plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression, which are involved in...
