ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/AIMS:
When a loss of hepatic mass occurs, the expression of a large number of genes is either induced or altered, accompanying hepatocyte proliferation. In the present study, we made an in-house cDNA microarray containing 4608 elements (Liver chip), and analyzed extensively gene expression profiles of the regenerating liver after 70% partial hepatectomy (PHx) in rats.METHODS:
RNAs were prepared from three rat livers at each time point (taken at 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 48, 72 h, and 1 week after PHx). Using the liver chip, we performed large-scale analysis of gene expression during liver regeneration. Elements either up- or down-regulated more than twofold at one or more time points were selected.RESULTS:
Among the 4608, 382 were identified. Using cluster analysis, we found great similarity between gene-expression profiles at 12 and 18 h after PHx as well as between 48 and 72 h after PHx. We also found that there are at least six distinct temporal patterns of gene expression in the regenerating rat liver after PHx.CONCLUSIONS:
These results indicated that microarray analysis is a powerful approach for monitoring molecular events in the regenerating liver.
