Pharmacological Intervention in Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation and Hepatic Fibrosis.

Frontiers in pharmacology

Schon HT, Bartneck M, Borkham-Kamphorst E, Nattermann J, Lammers T, Tacke F, Weiskirchen R.
PMID: 26941644
Front Pharmacol. 2016 Feb 24;7:33. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2016.00033. eCollection 2016.

The activation and transdifferentiation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) into contractile, matrix-producing myofibroblasts (MFBs) are central events in hepatic fibrogenesis. These processes are driven by autocrine- and paracrine-acting soluble factors (i.e., cytokines and chemokines). Proof-of-concept studies of the last...

Usage of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Small Molecule Inhibitors: More Than Just Inhibition!.

Frontiers in pharmacology

Meurer SK, Weiskirchen R.
PMID: 29483873
Front Pharmacol. 2018 Feb 12;9:98. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2018.00098. eCollection 2018.

We have identified a phenomenon occurring in the usage of proposed "specific" Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors. We found that especially inhibitors of p38 potentiate the activation of other MAPKs in various cell types. This finding will have tremendous...

Cellular and molecular functions of hepatic stellate cells in inflammatory responses and liver immunology.

Hepatobiliary surgery and nutrition

Weiskirchen R, Tacke F.
PMID: 25568859
Hepatobiliary Surg Nutr. 2014 Dec;3(6):344-63. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2304-3881.2014.11.03.

The liver is a central immunological organ. Liver resident macrophages, Kupffer cells (KC), but also sinusoidal endothelial cells, dendritic cells (DC) and other immune cells are involved in balancing immunity and tolerance against pathogens, commensals or food antigens. Hepatic...

Immunomodulatory effects of transforming growth factor-β in the liver.

Hepatobiliary surgery and nutrition

Schon HT, Weiskirchen R.
PMID: 25568862
Hepatobiliary Surg Nutr. 2014 Dec;3(6):386-406. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2304-3881.2014.11.06.

Members of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family are potent regulatory cytokines that affect multiple cell types of the immune system mediating pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory responses. In the liver, TGF-β is produced by a multitude of non-parenchymal liver cells...

Expression analysis of inflammasomes in experimental models of inflammatory and fibrotic liver disease.

Journal of inflammation (London, England)

Boaru SG, Borkham-Kamphorst E, Tihaa L, Haas U, Weiskirchen R.
PMID: 23192004
J Inflamm (Lond). 2012 Nov 28;9(1):49. doi: 10.1186/1476-9255-9-49.

During inflammation, the inflammasomes representing a group of multi-protein complexes trigger the biological maturation of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β and interleukin-18 by proteolytic activation of caspase-1 from its inactive proforms. The individual genes encoding components of the inflammasome...

CCN3/NOV small interfering RNA enhances fibrogenic gene expression in primary hepatic stellate cells and cirrhotic fat storing cell line CFSC.

Journal of cell communication and signaling

Borkham-Kamphorst E, van Roeyen CR, Van de Leur E, Floege J, Weiskirchen R.
PMID: 21748432
J Cell Commun Signal. 2012 Mar;6(1):11-25. doi: 10.1007/s12079-011-0141-3. Epub 2011 Jul 05.

Nephroblastoma overexpressed gene encodes a matricellular protein (CCN3/NOV) of the CCN family, comprising CCN1 (CYR61), CCN2 (CTGF), CCN4 (WISP-1), CCN5 (WISP-2), and CCN6 (WISP-3). CCN proteins are involved in the regulation of mitosis, adhesion, apoptosis, extracellular matrix production, growth...

Lipocalin-2 in Fructose-Induced Fatty Liver Disease.

Frontiers in physiology

Lambertz J, Berger T, Mak TW, van Helden J, Weiskirchen R.
PMID: 29234288
Front Physiol. 2017 Nov 28;8:964. doi: 10.3389/fphys.2017.00964. eCollection 2017.

The intake of excess dietary fructose most often leads to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Fructose is metabolized mainly in the liver and its chronic consumption results in lipogenic gene expression in this organ. However, precisely how fructose is...

High Prevalence of Sticky Platelet Syndrome in Patients with Infertility and Pregnancy Loss.

Journal of clinical medicine

Yagmur E, Bast E, Mühlfeld AS, Koch A, Weiskirchen R, Tacke F, Neulen J.
PMID: 31466364
J Clin Med. 2019 Aug 28;8(9). doi: 10.3390/jcm8091328.

Platelet hyperaggregability, known as sticky platelet syndrome (SPS), is a prothrombotic disorder that has been increasingly associated with pregnancy loss. In this retrospective study, we aimed to investigate the clinical and diagnostic relevance of SPS in 208 patients with...
