| Research Abstract |
We have found a transient expression of BMP-2/4 (bone morphogenetic protein) in early stage of CCl4-injured liver, and attempted to disclose the role of BMPs in repair process of injured liver in this study. As the results, we observed delay in recover of hepatic gene expression such as albumin, and decrease in expression of cell proliferation marker PCNA in liver injured by CCl4. These results suggested the important role of BMP signal in repair process.
