| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have shown Cygb's anti-oxidative properties.Here,we clarified the role of Cygb in the development of liver fibrosis and cancer with different aetiologies.Model 1;25ppm DEN treatment for 25 weeks induced liver tumor formation in 100% of Cygb-/- mice compared to 44% in WT mice. Background liver developed fibrosis together with the augmented inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress conditions in Cygb-/- mice. Model 2;8-16 weeks of CDAA treatment provoked more steatohepatitis,fibrosis,and accumulated neutrophils in Cygb-/- mice than in WT.Interestingly,100% of Cygb-/- mice fed CDAA for 32 weeks developed liver cancer,while no tumor was found in WT.HSCs isolated from Cygb-/- mice exhibited the priming condition and the senescence-like phenotype with upregulated chemokine and cytokine mRNA expression and superoxide production.Thus,Cygb deficiency detetiorated liver fibrosis and cancer development caused by different etiologies,indicating the protective role of Cygb in organ insult.
