Liver Regeneration after Liver Transplantation

Abstract: Background/Purpose: The liver has a remarkable capacity to regenerate after injury or resection. The aim of this review is to outline the mechanisms and factors affecting liver regeneration after liver transplantation. Methods: Relevant studies were reviewed using Medline, PubMed and Springer databases. Results: A variety of cytokines (such as interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α), growth factors (like hepatocyte growth factor and transforming growth factor-α) and cells are involved in liver regeneration.… Show more

“…A close relationship between cytokines and HCC has been reported in recent years [28][29][30][31]. IL6 is a crucial effector cytokine that is involved in hepatic physiology, including hepatoprotection, the acute-phase response, and mitogenesis in liver regeneration [11,32]. This effect of IL6 is achieved through the STAT3 and MAPK signaling pathways by the binding of IL6 to its receptor complex (gp130-IL6R) on hepatocytes [11].…”

“…Rat P-OLT is a complex microsurgical model which is appropriate for answering a great number of scientific questions concerning the following topics: liver regeneration [5,6], small-for-size syndrome [7], rejection and tolerance [8], and graft ischemia-reperfusion injury [9], among others. Despite its feasibility, the literature is confusing regarding the technical aspects of rat P-OLT, and most of the research groups use their well-tried ‘in-house' protocols, which makes a comparison of their findings difficult.…”
