Structural and functional aspects of liver sinusoidal endothelial cell fenestrae: a review
نویسندگان
چکیده
This review provides a detailed overview of the current state of knowledge about the ultrastructure and dynamics of liver sinusoidal endothelial fenestrae. Various aspects of liver sinusoidal endothelial fenestrae regarding their structure, origin, species specificity, dynamics and formation will be explored. In addition, the role of liver sinusoidal endothelial fenestrae in relation to lipoprotein metabolism, fibrosis and cancer will be approached.

Early effect of a single intravenous injection of ethanol on hepatic sinusoidal endothelial fenestrae in rabbits
BACKGROUND It has been postulated that ethanol affects hepatic sinusoidal and perisinusoidal cells. In the current experimental study, we investigated the early effect of a single intravenous dose of ethanol on the diameter of liver sinusoidal endothelial fenestrae in New Zealand White rabbits. The diameter of fenestrae in these rabbits is similar to the diameter found in humans with healthy li...
متن کاملHuman recombinant endostatin Endostar attenuates hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cell capillarization in CCl4‑induced fibrosis in mice.
The aim of the present study was to detect the effect of the recombinant human endostatin Endostar on hepatic sinusoidal capillarization in CCl4‑induced murine models of liver fibrosis. The liver fibrosis model was induced in BALB/c mice using intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 for 6 weeks. Animals were divided into the following six treatment groups: Group 1, normal animals; group 2, CCl4‑induc...

متن کاملRat liver endothelial cells isolated by anti-CD31 immunomagnetic separation lack fenestrae and sieve plates.
The gold standard for the identification of sinusoidal endothelial cells (SEC) is the presence of fenestrae organized in sieve plates, which is characteristic of SEC in vivo. One of the methods currently in use to isolate SEC is immunomagnetic sorting for CD31. However, there is evidence to suggest that CD31 is not present on the surface of differentiated SEC. The present study used scanning el...
