BACKGROUND & AIMS: Detailed investigation of the biological pathways leading to hepatic fibrosis and identification of liver fibrosis biomarkers may facilitate early interventions for pediatric cholestasis. APPROACH & RESULTS: A targeted ELISA-based panel of 9 biomarkers (lysyl oxidase (LOX), tissue inhibitor matrix metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), interleukin-8 (IL-8), endoglin, periostin, mac-2-binding protein (mac2-BP), matrix metalloproteinase-3 and −7 (MMP-3, MMP-7) was examined in children with biliary atresia (BA, n=187), alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1AT, n=78) and Alagille syndrome (ALGS, n=65) and correlated with liver stiffness (LSM) and biochemical measures of liver disease. Median age and LSM were 9 years and 9.5 kPa. After adjusting for covariates, there were positive correlations between LSM and endoglin (p=0.04), IL-8 (p |
