Abstrakt: | Purpose: Although some biomarkers of hepatic progenitor cells have been reported to be involved in the liver fibrosis in patients with biliary atresia (BA), however, research still shows conflicting results. Therefore, we investigated the effect of Alu-mediated p21 transcriptional regulator (APTR), fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14 (Fn14) and CD133 expressions on liver fibrosis in Indonesian BA patients. Methods: Nineteen liver samples from BA patients and 9 liver specimens from non-BA controls were obtained. The expressions of APTR, Fn14 and CD133 were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Results: APTR expression was strongly up-regulated (1.5-fold) in liver BA specimens compared to liver controls (ΔC Conclusion: We present the first study of aberrant APTR expressions in the liver of BA infants which might contribute to liver fibrogenesis in BA infants. |
