Hepatocyte growth factor, a potent hepatocyte mitogen in vitro, appears to trigger hepatocyte regeneration after partial hepatectomy and after acute liver cell netcrosis. Transforming growth factor-a and transforming growth factor+, may also be involved in the control of liver regeneration. In this
Transforming growth factor β 1 (TGF-β 1 ) has been implicated as inhibitor of cell proliferation and a potent inducer of apoptosis in vitro and in vivo after the administration of high doses. To assess the role of endogenous TGF-β 1 , we quantitated the cytokine and its receptors in rat liver during
