Research Abstract

Growth and differentiated functions of mature hepatocytes are reciprocally regulated by cell density.
(1) We found that a furin-like protease activity is involved in HGF-mediated LAR activation under high-cell density conditions.
(2) Using TDO promoter-EGFP transgenic mice, we found that a conserved homologous region exists among the species. Furthermore, C/ EBP-αcan bind its site and activate promoter activity.
(3) Proline is an essential amino acid for hepatocyte growth. Proline increased accumulation of cyclin D and E proteins via newly synthesized collagen.
