Activation of Rac1 promotes Hedgehog-mediated acquisition of the myofibroblastic phenotype in rat and human hepatic stellate cells

Hepatic accumulation of myofibroblastic hepatic stellate cells (MF-HSC) is pivotal in the pathogenesis of cirrhosis. Two events are necessary for MF-HSC to accumulate in damaged livers: transition of resident, quiescent HSC (Q-HSC) to MF-HSC, and expansion of MF-HSC numbers via increased proliferati...
