Research Abstract

To evaluate the differences in mechanism of regulatory system on energy metabolism between regenerating liver and hepatooellular. Carcinoma, mRNAs for GAPDH and PPAR-α, CPT-1, Cyclin D1 were measured in hepatooellular carainama and cirrhotic human liver, rat remnant liver after 70% liver resection.
The levels of expression of mRNAs for GAPDH and PPAR-α, CPT-1, Cyclin D1 in hepatomllular carcinoma were significantly (p<0.01) increased by hepatooellular ca ranoma compared with those in carbolic liven
The levels of expression of mRNAs for GAPDH and Cyclin D1 in rat remnant liver one day after 70 % liver renedton were significantly (pm.05) higher than that one day afberr sham operation.
The levels of expression of mRNAs for GAPDH and Cyclin D1 in rat remnant liver three days after 70 % liver resection were significantly (p<0.01) higher than that three days after sham operation.
The levels of expression of mRNAs for PPAR-α and CPT-1 in rat remnant liver after 70 % liver resection were almost same as that after sham operation.
These results suggest that hepatocellular carcinoma may be associated with increase in metabolism of fatty acid in mitochondria, and that glucose may play more important role in liver regeneration after hepatectomy than fatty acid.
