- W2078446586 abstract "Hepatic Stellate Cells (HSCs) play a crucial role in pathogenesis of liver inflammation and fibrosis. During chronic liver injury, HSCs lose vitamin A and transform into myofibroblastic cells. In schistosomal granulomas, these activated HSCs are called GR-HSCs. Schistosomal-triggered hepatic fibrogenesis has TGF-β as the most potent fibrogenic stimulus, that also controls gene expression of the angiogenic molecule VEGF in HSCs. COX-dependent production of prostaglandins (PGs) also play role in angiogenic processes. Besides angiogenic roles, prostanoids control immunomodulation of Schistosoma mansoni infection. Specifically, schistosoma-derived PGD2 has emerged as a key parasite regulator of immune defense evasion, while no role is still established to host PGD2. Therefore, the aim of this work is to investigate the ability of GR-HSCs to synthesize COX-derived PGD2 and a potential role of this prostanoid in VEGF production by GR-HSCs in vitro. Here, we confirmed that GR-HSCs express COX-2, which displayed perinuclear localization. While unstimulated GR-HSCs produce basal levels of PGD2, TGF-β stimulation besides increasing COX2- mRNA levels, enhanced synthesis/secretion of PGD2 in GR-HSCs supernatant. Moreover, GR-HSCs-derived PGD2 mediate VEGF production by TGF-β-stimulated GR-HSCs, since the pre-treatment with HQL-79, an inhibitor of hematopoietic PGD synthase inhibited both PGD2 synthesis and VEGF secretion by TGF-β-stimulated GR-HSCs. All together, our findings show an autocrine/paracrine activity of GR-HSCs-derived PGD2 on TGF-β-induced VEGF production by GR-HSCs, unveiling a role for PGD2 as important regulator of HSCs activation in hepatic granulomas from schistosome infected mice." @default.
