Ablation of DGKα facilitates α‐smooth muscle actin expression via the Smad and PKCδ signaling pathways during the acute phase of CCl4‐induced hepatic injury
Expression of α‐smooth muscle actin (αSMA) is constitutive in vascular smooth muscle cells, but is induced in nonmuscle cells such as hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). HSCs play important roles in both physiological homeostasis and pathological response. HSC activation is characterized by αSMA expressi...
