Background Liver regeneration following 70% partial hepatectomy (PH) requires the
coordinated expression of soluble mediators produced by macrophages. Monocyte …

Recent studies show CXC chemokine elevations after hepatic resection; blockade of
epithelial neutrophil-activating protein (ENA-78), a CXC chemokine, retards hepatic …

Background and Aims: Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) is a potent chemoattractant
for monocytes. It is involved in pathogenesis of several inflammatory diseases. Hepatic MCP …

Considerable evidence suggests that monocytes/macrophages play a crucial role in the
process of liver injury and repair. Recent investigations have focused on the function of …

Background Increased expression of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) has been
indicated as a mechanism underlying leukocyte recruitment after liver injury. In this study we …

Macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), which induces maturation of macrophages,
is notably expressed in the liver. Thus, the specific purpose of this study was to investigate …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) is a potent monocyte/
macrophage chemoattractant expressed by fat-storing cells (FSCs) in rat models of liver …

Background Our previous in vitro studies have demonstrated dose-dependent effects of
CXCR2 ligands on hepatocyte cell death and proliferation. In the current study, we sought to …

Background and Aim. Hepatic macrophage is a heterogenetic population in origin and
function. It is known to participate in the coordination of all phases of liver regeneration after …

AIM: To study the role of macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2 in liver resection-induced
acceleration of tumor growth in a mouse model of hepatic metastasis. METHODS: After a …
