Vasopressin synergistically stimulates DNA synthesis in normal and regenerating rat liver cell cultures in the presence of hepatocyte growth factor
in Journal of Molecular EndocrinologyABSTRACT
Liver regeneration is significantly impaired in rats with both α-adrenergic hepatic denervation and hereditary vasopressin deficiency. This may implicate a direct role for these agonists in the process of compensatory hyperplasia. The mitogenic capacities of norepinephrine, vasopressin and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), either alone or in combination were investigated by [3H]thymidine incorporation into hepatocyte cultures prepared from normal and regenerating rat livers. The results show that normal hepatocytes incorporate less [3H]thymidine in response to HGF than do regenerating hepatocytes. In addition, physiological concentrations of vasopressin cause a synergistic stimulation of [3H]thymidine uptake in rat liver cells in the presence of HGF.
Journal of Molecular Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
