After a partial hepatectomy, TGF-a mRNA has been shown of chronic liver disease; CH, chronic hepatitis; LC, liver cirrhosis; LI, labeling index; RTto increase in hepatocytes at the time of DNA synthesis con-PCR, reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction; cDNA, complementary DNA.
Transforming growth factor-a and hepatocyte growth factor are important stimulators of hepatocyte proliferation. In this series of experiments we sought to measure the expression of transforming growth factor-a mRNA by hepatocytes in response to toxic liver injury produced by carbon tetrachloride or
