Col1A1 production and apoptotic resistance in TGF-β1-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-like phenotype of 603B cells.
Recent studies have suggested that proliferating cholangiocytes have an important role in the induction of fibrosis, either directly via epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), or indirectly via activation of other liver cell types. Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1), a critical fibrotic...
