Key Event Relationship Description
Activated KCs are further an important source of ROS like superoxide (generated by NOX), but they also produce nitricoxide (NO) the counterbalance for the stimulatory effects of ROS. KCs express TNF-α, IL-1 (Interleukin-1) and MCP-1 (monocyte-chemoattractant protein-1), all being mitogens and chemoattractants for HSCs and induce the expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors on HSCs cells which further enhances cell proliferation
