Age Related Changes In The Expression Of Tenascin-C In Liver Of Albino Rat, Mohammed Mohammed, Mohammed Mokhtar El Assaly, Hamdino Attia
Al-Azhar International Medical Journal
Abstract Background: Aging is a gradual deterioration in the function of tissues and organ systems with loss of the ability to maintain homeostasis, due to structural alteration or dysfunction. Aging impact directly on all the different types of liver cells: hepatocytes, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), Küpffer cells (KCs) and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Activation of HSCs leads to deposition of collagen in the space of Disse, decrease of fenestrations of LSECs and formation of basement membrane. These changes called pseudocapillarization. Tenascin-C (TN-C) is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein markedly up-regulated during liver fibrosis. Tenascin-C is highly expressed during embryonic development, …
