| Research Abstract |
In this study, we found that high VEGF-A concentration was observed in the medium in a co-culture of peritoneal macrophages and reactive mesothelial cells, which are major cellular components in ascites of cirrhotic patients. Moreover it was revealed that the ratio of peritoneal macrophages and reactive mesothelial cells could influence inflammatory cytokines profile in the culture medium.
