While most cytokine research has focused on cells of the immune system, other cell types produce cytokines including the epithelial cells of the lung [ 28 29 ] , retina [ 30 ] , and intestines [ 31 32 ] . Among the few studies involving the biliary system, it was demonstrated that cultured human intrahepatic duct epithelial cells produce functional IL-8 and MCP-1 (CCL2) [ 14 33 ] . Isolated human intrahepatic epithelial ducts expressed immunoreactive IL-6 when treated with IL-1β or phorbal myristate acetate [ 34 ] . Intracellular TNF-α mRNA and protein was detected in intrahepatic biliary duct cells in tissue sections [ 35 ] , but not in cultured intrahepatic epithelial cells; therefore, there was no clear demonstration that biliary epithelium secretes TNF-α.
