BACKGROUND/AIMS: Cirrhotic liver has less ability to regenerate than normal liver, but it can produce the precursor of hepatocyte growth factor (proHGF) similarly to normal liver after resection. Studies were performed to examine whether the exogenous administration of recombinant human (rh) HGF-activator converts proHGF to biologically active (mature) HGF, inducing an enhancement of liver regeneration in cirrhosis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Rats with liver cirrhosis were treated by 45% partial hepatectomy, and rhHGF-activator or vehicle was injected via the portal vein 24 h after resection. Liver injury and its regeneration, the conversion of proHGF to mature HGF, and the activation of its signal through HGF receptor (c-Met) were analyzed.
RESULTS: rhHGF-activator improved the recovery of liver function after resection in cirrhotic liver as compared with the control group. rhHGF-activator also enhanced the proliferating cell nuclear antigen labeling index and liver regeneration rate. rhHGF-activator converted the proHGF to mature HGF, showing the maximal effect at 10 min after injection, which was followed by tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1, and the association of IRS-1 with c-Met and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase.
CONCLUSIONS: Results demonstrate that the administration of rhHGF-activator stimulates the recovery of liver function and regeneration after resection in cirrhotic liver through the activation of proHGF and its intracellular signal. It may be potentially useful treatment for patients with liver cirrhosis.
