Outline of Final Research Achievements |
o investigate the mechanism of liver regeneration, we used anti-mouse IL-6 antibody (MR16-1) in order to block the signal transduction of IL-6. We performed traditional 70% hepatectomy model with or without MR16-1, and obtained regenerated liver and blood samples after certain postoperative period. Remnant livers were more regenerated in terms of liver weight in MR16-1 group than control at 24 hours after hepatectomy (P=0.035). PCNA/Ki Index was suppressed in MR16-1 group than control group. IL-6, TNFalpha, HGF, and apoptosis index were similar between the two groups. The results of this study can be developed further in the next stage of research of analyzing intracellular signal transduction for liver regeneration.
