Zusammenfassung
Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) is a key effector cytokine in liver fibrosis. Although the intense investigations, the mechanisms of liver fibrosis remain elusive. In this study, we aimed to identify signaling pathways that are differentially regulated upon TGF-β1 stimulation and might serve as markers for enhanced pathophysiological level of TGF-β1 in liver. By a genome-wide gene expression profiling, we identified 2,196 differentially regulated genes. Using KEGG and David tools, the TGF-β1 gene targets were mapped into annotated pathways, revealing relationships broadly altered in primary mouse hepa…
