The acidic microenvironment in the perisinusoidal space critically determines bile salt-induced activation of hepatic stellate cells

Abstract Cholestatic liver diseases, accompanied by the hepatic accumulation of bile salts, frequently lead to liver fibrosis, while underlying profibrogenic mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we evaluated the role of extracellular pH (pHe) on bile salt entry and hepatic stellate cell...
