Delayed Hepatocellular Mitotic Progression and Impaired Liver Regeneration in Early Growth Response-1-deficient Mice
21 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
The early growth response-1 transcription factor (Egr-1) is induced as part of the immediate-early gene expression response during early liver regeneration. In the studies reported here the functional significance of EGR-1 expression during liver regeneration was examined by characterizing the hepatic regenerative response to partial hepatectomy in Egr-1 null mice. The results of these studies showed that liver...
