Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Mechanism of the decreased regenerative capacity of aged liver after hepatectemy and its regulation focused on epigenetic changes were elucidated in this study. In aged liver, the down-regulated of cell cycle and up -regulated of apoptosis-related genes during liver regeneration after hepatectomy were demonstrated. Also the epigenetic regulation with HDAC inhibitor up-regulated cell cycle related genes and differentiation related genes, after hepatectomy resulted in increase of liver regeneration and decrease of liver injury.
