Sortilin in biliary epithelial cells promotes ductular reaction and fibrosis during cholestatic injury

This study investigated the interplay between sortilin, IL-6 and LIF in cholestatic injury-induced ductular reaction, morphogenesis of new ducts and fibrosis. Cholestatic injury was induced by bile duct ligation (BDL) in WT and Sort1-/- mice, with or without augmentation of IL-6 or LIF.
