【 摘 要 】

The control of rat hepatocyte DNA synthesis in vitro by Kupffer cells and transformed perisinusoidal lipocytes, i.e. myofibroblast-like cells was studied. Conditioned media from Kupffer cells inhibit the replicative (hydroxyurea-sensitive) DNA synthesis dose-dependently in primary cultures of hepatocytes stimulated by epidermal growth factor (EGF). The cytokine responsible for the inhibition was identified as transforming growth factor β (TGFβ). After neutralization of activated TGFβ in these media. DNA synthesis is stimulated in quiescent hepatocytes via transforming growth factor α (TGFα) demonstrated by competitive TGFα/EGF-receptor blocking on hepatocytes. Results similar to those obtained with Kupffer cells were found with conditioned media of myofibroblast-like cells. Northern blot hybridization confirms the expression of both TGFβ and TGFα in Kupffer cells and myofibroblast-like cells, respectively. These findings support the notion that Kupffer cells and myofibroblast-like cells might regulate in both directions liver regeneration depending on the proportion of secreted TGFα and TGFβ and on the activation status of TGFβ, of which a significant fraction is secreted in the latent form.
