1 26748724 Liver fibrosis was induced in Socs1(-/-)Ifng(-/-) mice with dimethylnitrosamine or carbon tetrachloride.
2 26748724 Following fibrogenic treatments, Socs1(-/-)Ifng(-/-) mice showed elevated serum ALT levels and increased liver fibrosis compared to Ifng(-/-) mice.
3 26748724 The livers of SOCS1-deficient mice showed bridging fibrosis, which was associated with increased accumulation of myofibroblasts and abundant collagen deposition.
4 26748724 SOCS1-deficient livers showed increased expression of genes coding for smooth muscle actin, collagen, and enzymes involved in remodeling the extracellular matrix, namely matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases.
5 26748724 Primary HSCs from SOCS1-deficient mice showed increased proliferation in response to growth factors such as HGF, EGF and PDGF, and the fibrotic livers of SOCS1-deficient mice showed increased expression of the Pdgfb gene.
6 18345012 Fibrous tissue formation is regulated by the balance between plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), which reciprocally regulate fibrin deposition.
7 18345012 Adhesion development depended upon the interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 (STAT1) system.
8 18345012 This response does not depend on STAT4, STAT6, interleukin-12 (IL-12), IL-18, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, Toll-like receptor 4 or myeloid differentiation factor-88-mediated signals.
9 18345012 Wild-type mice increased the ratio of PAI-1 to tPA after cecal cauterization, whereas Ifng(-/-) or Stat1(-/-) mice did not, suggesting that IFN-gamma has a crucial role in the differential regulation of PAI-1 and tPA.
10 18345012 Additionally, hepatocyte growth factor, a potent mitogenic factor for hepatocytes, strongly inhibited intestinal adhesion by diminishing IFN-gamma production, providing a potential new way to prevent postoperative adhesions.
