Résumé

During the development of liver fibrosis, hepatic stellate cells undergo a transition from a quiescent phenotype into a proliferative, fibrogenic, and contractile, α-smooth muscle actin-positive myofibroblast. These cells acquire properties that are strongly associated with the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Actin possesses a unique ability to polymerize into filamentous actin (F-actin) form its monomeric globular state (G-actin). F-actin can form robust actin bundles and cytoskeletal networks by interacting with a number of actin-binding proteins that provide important mechanical and structural support for a multitude of cellular processes including intracellular transport, cell motility, polarity, cell shape, gene regulation, and signal transduction. Therefore, stains with actin-specific antibodies and phalloidin conjugates for actin staining are widely used to visualize actin structures in myofibroblasts. Here we present an optimized protocol for F-actin staining for hepatic stellate cells using a fluorescent phalloidin.
