## Abstract Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a hepatocyte growth factor and considered to play roles in liver fibrogenesis and hepatocarcinogenesis. In this study we examined the mechanism of the action of PTN in these pathological processes. First, we confirmed that hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and Kupffer

Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) arrests growth and/or stimulates apoptosis of a variety of cells. The biochemical pathways involved in the apoptotic processes, however, remain poorly defined. TGF-beta1 induces DNA fragmentation together with morphological changes, which are characterist
Objective. To investigate the role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and transforming growth factor pl (TGFp1) in the regulation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) synthesis in human articular chondrocytes. Methods. Articular cartilage was obtained from human knee joints 24 hours after deat
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
