Abstract
Regenerating islet-derived protein (Reg) could participate in the occurrence of diabetes mellitus, inflammation, tumors, and other diseased or damaged tissues. However, the correlation of Reg with acute hepatic failure (AHF) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is poorly defined. To reveal the expression profiles of Reg family and their possible regulatory roles in AHF and HCC, rat models of HCC and AHF were separately established, and Rat Genome 230 2.0 was used to detect expression profiles of Reg-mediated signaling pathways-associated genes from liver tissues in AHF and HCC. The results showed that a total of 79 genes were significantly changed. Among these genes, 67 genes were the AHF-specific genes, 45 genes were the HCC-specific genes, and 33 genes were the common genes. Then, K-means clustering classified these genes into 4 clusters based on the gene expression similarity, and DAVID analysis showed that the above altered genes were mainly associated with stress response, inflammatory response, and cell cycle regulation. Thereafter, IPA software was used to analyze potential effects of these genes, and the predicted results suggested that the Reg-mediated JAK/STAT, NF-κB, MAPK (ERK1/2, P38 and JNK), PLC, and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways may account for the activated inflammation and cell proliferation, and the attenuated apoptosis and cell death during the occurrence of AHF and HCC.

Abstract
A tight link has been established between inflammation and cancer. Liver regeneration is a widely used model to study the correlation between inflammation and proliferation. IL-6 is essentially involved in liver regeneration and in cancer. Recently, IL-17A has been shown to regulate not only inflammation, but also cell proliferation. Here, we analyze the role played by IL-17A signaling in liver regeneration by comparing cell proliferation in Wild Type and IL-17RA-/- mice. Partial hepatectomy experiments performed in IL-17RA-/- mice showed a delay in expression of early-genes to prime the residual hepatocyte to proliferate, with subsequent delay in G1/S-phase transition. We demonstrated that IL-17RA regulates, by recruitment of non-parenchymal cell, the expression of IL-6, which in turn triggers the proliferation of residual hepatocytes. Our data indicate an important role played by IL-17RA in liver proliferation via IL-6.

Abstract
Notch signaling is closely related to cell proliferation, cell apoptosis, cell fate decisions, DNA damage repair, and so on. However, the exactly regulatory mechanism of Notch signaling pathway in liver regeneration (LR) remains unclear. To reveal the role of Notch signaling pathway in rat liver regeneration, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software and related pathway database were firstly used to construct the Notch signaling pathway in this study. Next, eight type cells with high purity were obtained by Percoll density centrifugation and immunomagnetic beads sorting. Then, the expression profiles of Notch signaling pathway-related genes in eight type cells were checked by using Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array, and the results showed that the expression of 42 genes were significantly regulated. H-cluster results showed that the hepatic stellate cells are attributed to one cluster; hepatocyte cell, oval cell, sinusoidal endothelial cell, and Kupffer cell are clustered together; and biliary epithelial cell, pit cell, and dendritic cell are one cluster. IPA software and Expression analysis systematic explorer analysis indicated that Notch signaling pathway-related genes were involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle, DNA damage repair, etc. In conclusion, Notch signaling pathway might regulate various physiological activities of LR through multiple pathways.

JOURNAL OF TOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. PART A 2018; 81:549-566.

Abstract
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a toxin associated with numerous species of freshwater cyanobacteria throughout the world. It is postulated to have caused an episode of serious illnesses in Australia through treated drinking water, as well as lethal effects in livestock exposed to water from farm ponds. Toxicity included effects indicative of both hepatic and renal dysfunction. In humans, symptoms progressed from initial hepatomegaly, vomiting, and malaise to acidosis and hypokalemia, bloody diarrhea, and hyperemia in mucous membranes. Laboratory animal studies predominantly involved the intraperitoneal (i.p.) route of administration and confirmed this pattern of toxicity with changes in liver enzyme activities and histopathology consistent with hepatic injury and adverse renal effects. The aim of this study was designed to assess subchronic oral exposure (90 d) of purified CYN from 75 to 300 µg/kg/d in mouse. At the end of the dosing period, examinations of animals noted (1) elevated organ to body weight ratios of liver and kidney at all dose levels, (2) treatment-related increases in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity, (3) decreased blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and cholesterol concentrations in males, and (4) elevated monocyte counts in both genders. Histopathological alterations included hepatocellular hypertrophy and cord disruption in the liver, as well as renal cellular hypertrophy, tubule dilation, and cortical tubule lesions that were more prominent in males. A series of genes were differentially expressed including Bax (apoptosis), Rpl6 (tissue regeneration), Fabp4 (fatty acid metabolism), and Proc (blood coagulation). Males were more sensitive to many renal end points suggestive of toxicity. At the end of exposure, toxicity was noted at all dose levels, and the 75 µg/kg group exhibited significant effects in liver and kidney/body weight ratios, reduced BUN, increased serum monocytes, and multiple signs of histopathology indicating that a no-observed-adverse-effect level could not be determined for any dose level.
