Outline of Final Research Achievements

Mouse model of 70 % hepatectomy was established. Protocol was prepared for the experiment with FXR agonist. In clinical experiment with paraffin embedded section, immunohistochemistry was performed with FXR antibody (PPMX corp., Clone No. A9033A). Staining pattern was appropriate and nuclear localization of FXR was confirmed. On the other hand, nuclear localization of FXR in more than 50% of hepatocytes in background liver was seen in almost all samples (n > 50). Therefore, it was hard to assign them into two groups with/without FXR activation. Other methodology is required for evaluating activation status of FXR in hepatocytes.
