Schistosomiasis is a serious but neglected tropical disease, which can cause granulomatous lesions and hepatic fibrosis. The egg-induced liver fibrosis is the primary cause of mortality and morbidity associated with this chronic disease. HPCs are a kind of stem cells with potentially bidirectional differentiation ability and interact with hepatic stellate cells during liver injury. We here reported the activation of HPCs during S. japonicum-induced liver fibrosis. SEA was used to stimulate HPC cell line LE/6 and WB-F344, and the differentiated gene expressions were shown to display the effect. Taken together, our data provides a moelcular framwork for SEA stimulation on HPCs during S. japonicum infection.
