Liver regeneration factor belongs to the leucinezipper family of transcription factors. It was originally cloned and characterized through differential screening of a regenerating rat liver cDNA library. The mRNA for liver regeneration factor-1 is barely detectable in normal rat liver but is dramati

TGF-beta is a potent inhibitor of EGF-induced DNA synthesis in primary rat hepatocyte cultures. Norepinephrine (NE) was shown to modulate this inhibition of DNA synthesis. It produced a five-fold increase, from 2.8 pM to 14.4 pM, in the IDSo for TGF-beta. The effect was dose-dependent and was signif

## Abstract We have characterized the effect of the hepatomitogen epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the expression of the cellular protooncogenes c‐Ha‐ras and c‐myc in short‐term (48 hours) primary hepatocyte culture. mRNA concentrations of both protooncogenes increased dramatically in nonproliferat
