Effects of c-myb antisense RNA on the proliferation and collagen Ⅰ gene expression in cultured hepatic stellate cells / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

98%. In the pDOR-myb infected HSCs, c-myb expression levels, the cell proliferation, and ? 1-Ⅰ collagen mRNA expression were repressed significantly. CONCLUSIONS: c-myb plays a key role in the activation and proliferation of HSC. c-myb antisense RNA can inhibit cell proliferation and ? 1-Ⅰ collagen mRNA expression in the infected HSC. These data suggest that inhibition of c-myb gene expression would be a potential way for the treatment of liver fibrosis.
