Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is characterized by an initial accumulation of triglycerides that can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, which can ultimately evolve to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatic stellate cells play a key role in liver fibrogenesis by an increased activation and an altered profile of genes involved in the turnover of extracellular matrix components. To reproduce in-vitro the functional cell connections observed in vivo it is essential to consider cell-to-cell proximity and interaction. The aim of this study was to determine the response to free fatty acids in a simultaneous co-culture model of hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells.

Abstract: | Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is characterized by an initial accumulation of triglycerides that can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, which can ultimately evolve to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatic stellate cells play a key role in liver fibrogenesis by an increased activation and an altered profile of genes involved in the turnover of extracellular matrix components. To reproduce in-vitro the functional cell connections observed in vivo it is essential to consider cell-to-cell proximity and interaction. The aim of this study was to determine the response to free fatty acids in a simultaneous co-culture model of hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells. |
