Activation of hepatic stellate cells by TGF alpha and collagen type I is mediated by oxidative stress through c-myb expression.

Excessive production of collagen type I is a major contributor to hepatic fibrosis. Activated (myofibroblastic), but not quiescent, hepatic stellate cells (lipocytes) have a high level of collagen type I and alpha-smooth muscle actin expression. Therefore, stellate cell activation is a critical step...
