Mechanisms of platelet-mediated liver regeneration.
Platelets have multiple functions beyond their roles in thrombosis and hemostasis. Platelets support liver regeneration, which is required after partial hepatectomy and acute or chronic liver injury. Although it is widely assumed that platelets stimulate liver regeneration by local excretion of mitogens stored within platelet granules, definitive evidence for this is lacking, and alternative me...
متن کاملCellular Mechanisms of Mammalian Liver Regeneration
ABSTRACT CELLULAR MECHANISMS OF MAMMALIAN LIVER REGENERATION Kilangsungla Yanger Ben Z. Stanger The liver is an essential organ that aids in metabolic processes, protein synthesis and detoxification of harmful substances. As the centre for detoxification, the liver is able to compensate for this routine damage with its robust regenerative ability. All vertebrate livers, for example, can make up...
متن کاملUpdate on the Mechanisms of Liver Regeneration.
Liver possesses many critical functions such as synthesis, detoxification, and metabolism. It continually receives nutrient-rich blood from gut, which incidentally is also toxin-rich. That may be why liver is uniquely bestowed with a capacity to regenerate. A commonly studied procedure to understand the cellular and molecular basis of liver regeneration is that of surgical resection. Removal of...
متن کاملRegulation of liver regeneration and hepatocarcinogenesis by suppressor of cytokine signaling 3
Suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) down-regulates several signaling pathways in multiple cell types, and previous data suggest that SOCS3 may shut off cytokine activation at the early stages of liver regeneration (Campbell, J.S., L. Prichard, F. Schaper, J. Schmitz, A. Stephenson-Famy, M.E. Rosenfeld, G.M. Argast, P.C. Heinrich, and N. Fausto. 2001.J. Clin. Invest. 107:1285-1292). We de...
متن کاملTelomerase activation in liver regeneration and hepatocarcinogenesis: Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?
The liver has a remarkable capability to restore its functional capacity following liver injury. According to the current paradigm, differentiated and usually quiescent hepatocytes are the primary cell type responsible for liver repair. As reserve compartment, bipotent hepatic progenitor cells are activated, especially if extensive loss or damage of hepatocytes with impaired replication occurs,...
