TL;DR: In this article, small and large cholangiocytes were treated with histamine trifluoromethyl toluidide (HTMT dimaleate; HRH1 agonist) for 24-48 h with/without terfenadine, BAPTA/AM, or W7 before measuring proliferation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological and functional heterogeneity of the mouse intrahepatic biliary epithelium
Shannon Glaser,Eugenio Gaudio,Arundhati Rao,Lisa M. Pierce,Paolo Onori,Antonio Franchitto,Heather Francis,David E. Dostal,David E. Dostal,Julie Venter,Sharon DeMorrow,Sharon DeMorrow,Romina Mancinelli,Romina Mancinelli,Guido Carpino,Domenico Alvaro,Shelley Kopriva,Jennifer Savage,Gianfranco Alpini +18 more
TL;DR: In situ morphometry established that the biliary epithelium of mice is morphologically heterogeneous, with smaller cholangiocytes lining smaller bile ducts and larger cholangaocytes lining larger ducts, and the mouse is a suitable model for defining the heterogeneity of the bile tree.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional analysis of microRNAs in human hepatocellular cancer stem cells
Fanyin Meng,Shannon Glaser,Heather Francis,Sharon DeMorrow,Yuyan Han,Jenna Passarini,Allison Stokes,John P. Cleary,Xiuping Liu,Julie Venter,Preetham Kumar,Sally Priester,Levi Hubble,Dustin Staloch,Jay Sharma,Chang-Gong Liu,Gianfranco Alpini,Gianfranco Alpini +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the expression of microRNAs in hepatocellular cancer stem cells (HSCs) was evaluated by microarray profiling, and defined the target genes and functional effects of two groups of microRNA regulated by IL-6 and transcriptional factor Twist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serotonin Metabolism Is Dysregulated in Cholangiocarcinoma, which Has Implications for Tumor Growth
Gianfranco Alpini,Pietro Invernizzi,Eugenio Gaudio,Julie Venter,Shelleyko Kopriva,Francesca Bernuzzi,Paolo Onori,Antonio Franchitto,Monique Coufal,Gabriel Frampton,Domenico Alvaro,Sum P. Lee,Marco Marzioni,Antonio Benedetti,Sharon DeMorrow +14 more
TL;DR: The data presented here represent the first evidence that serotonin metabolism is dysregulated in cholangiocarcinoma and that modulation of serotonin synthesis may represent an alternative target for the development of therapeutic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneity of the intrahepatic biliary epithelium
Shannon Glaser,Heather Francis,Sharon DeMorrow,Gene LeSage,Giammarco Fava,Marco Marzioni,Julie Venter,Gianfranco Alpini +7 more
TL;DR: The objectives of this review are to outline the recent findings related to the morphological heterogeneity of the biliary epithelium and the heterogeneous pathophysiological responses of different sized bile ducts to liver gastrointestinal hormones and peptides and liver injury/toxins with changes in apoptotic, proliferative and secretory activities.
