Abstract:

Objective To detect the expressions of CK19 and PCNA in fibrosis rat regenerating liver after partial hepatectomy (PH) at the different time phase, for evaluating the bile duct regeneration in fibrotic liver. Methods Male SD rats were divided into two groups: the control group (42 rats) and the experimental group (42 rats). The rats of experimental group were injected CCl4 to establish the hepatic fibrosis model, and then the two groups was endured PH operation. HE, immunohistochemical and double-label immunofluorescence were used to detect  and analyze expressions of CK19 and PCNA in regenerating liver. Results The expression of CK19 increased gradually after PH in both groups, however, expression intensity in experimental animals was significantly higher than control ones at the same time point. As well, the expression of PCNA increased gradually after PH in both groups, however, expression level in experimental groups rose slowly, extended and the peak appeared later than the control. Conclusions (1) PH process of fibrotic rat liver can stimulate proliferation of OCs and the differentiation to BECs, which mainly originate from compensatory hyperplasia in normal rats regenerating liver. (2) Before PH, liver cells in fibrosis rats have already proliferated, after PH, the effective regenerating cells are lower than the other liver injury.
