肝纤维化与细胞因子的关系

肝纤维化是肝损伤后的修复机制 ,肝星形细胞的过度激活是肝纤维化的中心事件 ,并最终导致大量细胞外基质的合成。主要由激活枯否细胞分泌的细胞因子作为重要的影响因素 ,刺激或抑制肝纤维化的发生发展 ;肝纤维化和细胞因子关系密切。本文就肝纤维化关系密切的及有望应用于肝纤维化治疗的细胞因子作一综述

Relationship between hepatic fibrosis and cytokine

Hepatic fibrosis is a wound healing response to liver injury. Activated hepatic cell is thekey evidence in the pathological fibrosis,which results in synthesis of large quantities of extracellular matrix components. Cytokines secreted mostly by activated Kupffer cell were remarkabe factors which have been proposed to stimulate and inhibit the fibrosis process.The close relationship between hepatic fibrosis and cytokines has been investigated. The article summarizes some important cytokines and the cytokines which can be used as target of antifibrotic therapy.
