Acid-labile subunit regulation during the early stages of liver regeneration: implications for glucoregulation.
The initiation of liver regeneration is regulated by endogenously produced growth factors and cytokines and is accompanied by suppression of growth hormone (GH) binding to hepatocytes. We have demonstrated some of these factors, particularly GH, which modulate acid-labile subunit (ALS) expression in vitro. Consequently, we investigated ALS hepatic mRNA and serum levels in rats for 24 h after pa...
متن کاملHepatic Regeneration-Revisiting the Myth of Prometheus.
Myriad signals such as growth factors, cytokines, growth inhibitors, hormones, ions, extracellular matrix, and the resident hepatic cells are involved in the regulation of hepatic regeneration. These regulatory factors ultimately mediate changes in gene expression, a critical step in this well-orchestrated restorative process.
متن کاملArtificial liver support: potential to retard regeneration?
HYPOTHESIS The concept of an "artificial liver" has been in development for over 40 years. Such devices aim to temporarily assume metabolic and excretory functions of the liver, with removal of potentially hepatotoxic substances, thereby clinically stabilizing patients and preventing deterioration while awaiting transplantation. If sufficient numbers of viable hepatocytes remain, regeneration a...
متن کاملAdministration of hepatic stimulatory substance alone or with other liver growth factors does not ameliorate acetaminophen-induced liver failure.
Sixty-two beagle dogs were given three doses of acetaminophen over a period of 24 hr in a fulminant liver failure model that is 70% lethal in 72 hr. Treatment of the animals with hepatic stimulatory substance alone or in a mixture with insulin, transforming growth factor-alpha and insulin-like growth factor II had no effect on mortality. Evidence of maximum regeneration with a mitotic index 20 ...
متن کاملSignificance of portal venous VEGF during liver regeneration after hepatectomy.
BACKGROUND Although some studies have hypothesized portal venous blood is important for liver regeneration, no studies have established organs whose venous effluent flow into the portal vein secrete liver regenerating factors into the portal vein during liver regeneration. The aim of this study was to elucidate up-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the portal vein, and e...
متن کاملFunctional Relationships between Lipid Metabolism and Liver Regeneration
The regenerative capacity of the liver is well known, and the mechanisms that regulate this process have been extensively studied using experimental model systems including surgical resection and hepatotoxin exposure. The response to primary mitogens has also been used to investigate the regulation of hepatocellular proliferation. Such analyses have identified many specific cytokines and growth...
