Perturbation of hepatocyte growth regulation is associated with a number of liver diseases such as fibrosis and cancer. These diseases are mediated by a network of growth factors and cytokines that regulate the induction of hepatocyte proliferation and apoptosis. In this study, we have investigated
A mutant Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) lacking myristoyl fatty acid markedly stimulates the activity of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) without inducing tumor necrosis factor ␣ (TNF␣) production by human monocytes (Tian et al., 1998, Am J Physiol 275:C740.), suggesting that induct
Organization of intermediate filament, a major component of cytoskeleton, is regulated by protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, which is a dynamic process governed by a balance between the activities of involved protein kinases and phosphatases.

## Abstract The ability of microglia to produce/secrete glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in vitro was examined. Immunoblotting analysis revealed that nonstimulated microglia release limited amounts of GDNF with molecular sizes of 14 and 17 kDa. However, the secreted amounts signif
