Description
The HSC-T6 cell line is a well-established immortalized model derived from adult rat liver, widely used to study hepatic stellate cell behavior in liver health and disease. These cells are central to understanding liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, as they transition from vitamin A-storing cells into activated myofibroblasts upon injury, driving extracellular matrix deposition and fibrotic scarring. HSC-T6 cells express hallmark activation markers such as α-SMA, GFAP, and desmin, and demonstrate high proliferative activity along with responsiveness to key cytokines and growth factors. This makes them a robust and reproducible tool for investigating profibrotic signaling pathways and screening anti-fibrotic therapies. Their well-characterized phenotype supports ongoing research into liver disease mechanisms and therapeutic development.
