Study on correlation of signal molecule genes and their receptor-associated genes with rat liver regeneration.

To investigate the effect of signal molecules and their receptor-associated genes on rat liver regeneration (LR) at the transcriptional level, the associated genes were originally obtained by retrieving the databases and related scientific publications; their expression profiles in rat LR were then checked using the Rat Genome 230 2.0 microarray. The LR-associated genes were identified by comparing gene expression difference between partial hepatectomy groups and operation-control groups.

Possible regulation of genes associated with intracellular signaling cascade in rat liver regeneration.

Objective: The importance of signal transduction in cell activities has been generally accepted. The purpose of this study was to analyze the regulatory effect of intracellular signaling cascade-associated genes on rat liver regeneration (LR) at transcriptional level.

Material And Methods: The associated genes were originally obtained through a search of the databases and related scientific publications; their expression profiles were then checked in rat LR using the Rat Genome 230 2.

Expression profiles of the genes related to adipocyte differentiation in the rat regenerating liver.

To investigate the action of adipocyte differentiation-related genes during rat liver regeneration at transcriptional level, these genes were obtained by means of collection of the database data and retrieval of the related theses. The Rat Genome 230 2.0 array was used to inspect the expression changes of them in rat regenerating livers.

Expression patterns and action analysis of genes associated with inflammatory responses during rat liver regeneration.

Aim: To study the relationship between inflammatory response and liver regeneration (LR) at transcriptional level.

Methods: After partial hepatectomy (PH) of rats, the genes associated with inflammatory response were obtained according to the databases, and the gene expression changes during LR were checked by the Rat Genome 230 2.0 array.
