Meininger,Antonio Franchitto,Paolo Onori,Marco Marzioni,Silvia Taffetani,Giammarco Fava,George Stoica,Julie Venter,Ramona Reichenbach,Sharon De Morrow,Ryun Summers,Gianfranco Alpini +18 more
TL;DR: VEGF mediates the adaptive proliferative response of cholangiocytes to cholestasis and is found to be amplified in BDL cholangsiocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
cAMP stimulates the secretory and proliferative capacity of the rat intrahepatic biliary epithelium through changes in the PKA/Src/MEK/ERK1/2 pathway.

TL;DR: Modulation of the PKA/Src/MEK/ERK1/2 pathway may be important in the regulation of cholangiocyte growth and secretion observed in cholestatic liver diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
γ-Aminobutyric Acid Inhibits Cholangiocarcinoma Growth by Cyclic AMP–Dependent Regulation of the Protein Kinase A/Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase 1/2 Pathway
Giammarco Fava,Luca Marucci,Shannon Glaser,Heather Francis,Sharon De Morrow,Antonio Benedetti,Domenico Alvaro,Julie Venter,Cynthia J. Meininger,Tushar Patel,Silvia Taffetani,Silvia Taffetani,Marco Marzioni,Ryun Summers,Ramona Reichenbach,Gianfranco Alpini +15 more
TL;DR: GABA decreases biliary cancer proliferation and reduces the metastatic potential of cholangiocarcinoma, and may represent a therapeutic agent for patients affected by malignancies of the biliary tract.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ca2+-dependent cytoprotective effects of ursodeoxycholic and tauroursodeoxycholic acid on the biliary epithelium in a rat model of cholestasis and loss of bile ducts.
Marco Marzioni,Heather Francis,Antonio Benedetti,Yoshiyuki Ueno,Giammarco Fava,Giammarco Fava,J Venter,Ramona Reichenbach,Maria Grazia Mancino,Ryun Summers,Gianfranco Alpini,Shannon Glaser +11 more
TL;DR: UDCA and its taurine conjugate tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) were administered in vivo to rats simultaneously subjected to bile duct ligation and vagotomy to improve the response of cholangiopathies to medical therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Administration of r-VEGF-A prevents hepatic artery ligation-induced bile duct damage in bile duct ligated rats
Eugenio Gaudio,Barbara Barbaro,Domenico Alvaro,Shannon Glaser,Heather Francis,Antonio Franchitto,Paolo Onori,Yoshiyuki Ueno,Marco Marzioni,Giammarco Fava,Julie Venter,Ramona Reichenbach,Ryun Summers,Gianfranco Alpini +13 more
TL;DR: The effects of HAL on the peribiliary plexus and cholangiocyte functions were prevented by r-VEGF-A, which, by maintaining the integrity of the PBP and choliocyte proliferation, prevents damage of bile ducts following ischemic injury.
