Compound 5 (Cpd 5), a synthetic K vitamin analogue, or 2-(2-mercaptoethanol)-3-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone, is a potent inhibitor of epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced rat hepatocyte DNA synthesis and induces EGF receptor (EGFR) tyrosine phosphorylation. To understand the cellular responses to Cpd

Hepatocellular carcinoma often develops in the setting of abnormal hepatocyte growth associated with chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. Transforming growth factor b (TGFb) is a multifunctional cytokine pivotal in the regulation of hepatic cell growth, differentiation, migration, extracellular ma
## Abstract Strong activation of the ERK signal is required for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) to inhibit proliferation of the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2. However, it is still to be elucidated whether the activation alone is sufficient to induce the inhibitory effect. In this st
## Abstract The role of the matricellular protein SPARC (secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine) in modulation of vascular cell proliferation is believed to be mediated, in part, by its ability to regulate the activity of certain growth factors through direct binding. In this study, we demon
## Abstract Inflammation induces the NFβΞΊB dependent protein A20 in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTEC), which secondarily contains inflammation by shutting down NFβΞΊB activation. We surmised that inducing A20 without engaging the proβinflammatory arm of NFβΞΊB could improve outcom
