Research Abstract

In this study, we established liver fibrosis model using CDAA diet model and investigated the mechanism of liver carcinogenesis induced by fibrosis. Furthermore, we examined whether the resolution of collagen deposition by siRNA-HSP47 could prevent hepatic carcinoma using CDAA diet model. Finally, we could obtain the fundamental data regarding the plausible mechanisms of liver carcinogenesis by fibrosis which should be promising for prevention of liver fibrosis.
