Our study provides new information on this question in mice and humans. We show that bile duct obstruction induces a striking increase in cholangiocyte \u03b1v\u03b26 integrin and that expression of this integrin is directly linked to fibrogenesis through activation of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-\u03b2). Administration of blocking antibody to \u03b1v\u03b26 significantly reduces the extent of acute fibrosis after bile duct ligation. Moreover, in \u03b26-null mice subjected to the injury, fibrosis is reduced by 50% relative to that seen in wild-type mice, whereas inflammation occurs to the same extent. The data indicate that \u03b1v\u03b26, rather than inflammation, is linked to fibrogenesis. It is known that \u03b1v\u03b26 binds latent TGF-\u03b2 and that binding results in release of active TGF\u03b2. Consistent with this, intracellular signaling from the TGF\u03b2 receptor is increased after bile duct ligation in wild-type mice but not in \u03b26\u2212\/\u2212 mice, and a competitive inhibitor of the TGF\u03b2 receptor type II blocks fibrosis to the same extent as antibody to \u03b1v\u03b26. In a survey of human liver disease, expression of \u03b1v\u03b26 is increased in acute, but not chronic, biliary injury and is localized to cholangiocyte-like cells.<\/jats:bold>\n                              <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion :<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n                                 <jats:bold>Cholangiocytes respond to acute bile duct obstruction with markedly increased expression of \u03b1v\u03b26 integrin, which is closely linked to periductal fibrogenesis. The findings provide a rationale for the use of inhibitors of \u03b1v\u03b26 integrin or TGF\u03b2 for down-regulating fibrosis in the setting of acute or ongoing biliary injury.<\/jats:bold>\n
