## Abstract Partial hepatectomy induces increases in the synthesis of both messenger (poly(A)^+^) and ribosomal (poly(A)^−^) RNA, which precede the initiation of DNA synthesis. The increase in poly(A)^+^RNA, which commences soon after surgery and reaches a peak 1–3 hours later is particularly strik

✦ Synopsis
W e studied the regulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor mRNA and the number of epidermal growth factor binding sites in subcellular compartmenta involved in the bioeyntheeis and endocytoeis of the epidermal growth factor receptor during the prereplicative phaee of liver regeneration. The epidermal growth factor receptor mRNA, quantified by solution hybridization, decreased after partial hepatectomy, with a nadir of about 36% 18 hr after hepatectomy. A n even stronger decrease in the number of epidermal growth factor binding eitem after partial hepatectomy was obrved in a Gold-enriched low-deneity membrane fraction, reflecting available newly synthesized epidermal growth factor receptors. It im mggeded that this decrease in newly eyntheeized available epidermal growth factor receptors is c a d primarily, but not entirely, by decreased epidermal growth factor receptor mRNA levels and the additional downregulation of epidermal growth factor binding sitem may involve poettranslational mechaniamn such ae intracellular occupation by t r d o r m i n g growth factors.
The observation that the number of specific epidermal growth factor binding sites after partial hepatectomy wae only moderately r e d u d in prelyaosomal endosomea and in lysosomes, compared with the newly syntheeieed receptors, may indicate that a pool of receptors targeted for lyeoeomes esimta and these receptors are regulated in a different manner than the receptor pool W t e d for the cell surface.
Furthermore, at least two separable endocytic subcompartmenta are involved in the transport of the epidermal growth factor/epidermal gmwkh factor receptor complex in the liver. The complex 5ret enters early endommeas, then enters late, prelymaomal endosomes, where the epidermal growth factor is proteolyt-

Liver mass depends on one or more unidentified humoral signals that drive regeneration when liver functional capacity is dimin-ished. Bile acids are important liver products, and their levels are tightly regulated. Here, we identify a role for nuclear receptordependent bile acid signaling in normal
