Objective  To observe the expression and distribution of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in the healing process of bile duct and discuss its function and significance in the process of benign biliary stricture formation. Methods  An injury to bile duct of dog was made and then repaired. The expression and distribution of TGF-β1 in the tissue at different time of the healing process were studied after operation with immunohistochemical SP staining.
Results  TGF-β1 staining was observed in the granulation tissue, fibroblasts and endothelial cells of blood vessels. High expression of TGF-β1 was observed in the healing process lasting for a long time.
Conclusion  The high expression of TGF-β1 is related closely with the fibroblast proliferating activity, extracellular matrix overdeposition and scar proliferation in the healing process of bile duct.
