Fetal rat hepatocytes incubated in the absence of hormonal signals, or under proliferative (presence of epidermal growth factor [EGF]) or differentiative (presence of dexamethasone) culture conditions, showed responsiveness to interleukin-6 (IL-6). Northern blotting analysis for some typical acute p

Metallothionein (MT) is a small cysteine-rich protein thought to be mainly involved in metal regulation and detoxification. The implication of MT in cell growth and differentiation has also been suggested. This latter hypothesis was further investigated in adult rat hepatocytes induced to proliferat
## Abstract In previous experiments the surface expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes varied temperatureβ and timeβdependently and was depleted by monensin and cycloheximide in a way suggesting that a subpopulation of these receptors are subject t
Sustained production of plasma proteins, notably albumin, is a reliable indicator of the differentiated state ot hepatocytes. In this work, we have developed a fetal hepatocyte culture system where studying the regulation of albumin expression in proliferating liver cells. Our results show that unde
