Osteoprotegerin expression in liver is induced by IL-13 through TGF-β

2020

1.AbstractBackgroundsOsteoprotegerin (OPG) is a profibrotic mediator produced by myofibroblasts under influence of transforming growth factor β (TGFβ). Its expression in experimental models of liver fibrosis correlates well with disease severity and treatment responses. The regulation of OPG in liver tissue is largely unknown and we therefore set out to elucidate which growth factors/interleukins associated with fibrosis induce OPG and through which pathways.MethodsPrecision-cut liver slices of wild type and STAT6-deficient mice and 3T3 fibroblasts were used to investigate the effects of TGFβ, interleukin (IL) 13 (IL13), IL1β, and platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) on expression of…
