Establishment and characterization of a rat pancreatic stellate cell line by spontaneous immortalization
World Journal Of GastroenterologyPeer ReviewedAtsushi Masamune2003Journals
Activated pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of pancreatic fibrosis and inflammation. Primary PSCs can be subcultured only several times because of their limited growth potential. A continuous cell line may therefore be valuable in studying molecular mechanisms of these pancreatic disorders. The aim of this study was to establish a cell line of rat PSCs by spontaneous immortalization.
