Liver injury and repair were examined in wild type, p21Waf1/Cip1, and p27Kip1-deficient mice following carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) administration. In wild type liver, p21 expression is induced in a biphasic manner following injection of CCl4, with an early peak of p21 expression occurring in pericentral hepatocytes at 6 h, prior to evidence of injury, and a second peak succeeding regenerative proliferation. In...
