Si-Wu-Tang improves liver fibrosis by restoring liver sinusoidal endothelial cell functionality and reducing communication with hepatic stellate cells by Le Wang, Jiaorong Qu, Jianan Li, Xiaoyong Xue, Lingling Qin, Yufei Li, Yuanfeng Dou, Xiaohong Mu, Xiaojiaoyang Li

“…The anti-fibrosis effects of SWT were attributed to the inhibition on LSEC adhesion via COL8A1, on LSEC angiogenesis via IL-1β and the induction of LSEC defenestration by OLR1. Additionally, SWT disrupted the intercellular crosstalk between LSECs and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) driven by IL-1β, thus alleviating liver fibrosis. …”
