Portal fibroblasts with mesenchymal stem cell features form a reservoir of proliferative myofibroblasts in liver fibrosis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Portal mesenchymal cells represent a very small amount of cells. They are tightly bound to the bile duct and portal vascular structures, relying on basement membranes. In the present study, we set up a specific procedure to isolate portal mesenchymal cells, for scRNAseq analysis. We identified 16 distinct cell clusters, including fibroblasts (5 clusters), vascular smooth muscle cells (VSCMs, 5 clusters), endothelial cells (4 clusters), HSCs (1 cluster) and mesothelial cells (1 cluster).
