Cloning and characterization of a mouse liver-specific gene mfrep-1, up-regulated in liver regeneration
Jun Yan et al. Cell Res. 2002 Dec.
Abstract
Human fibrinogen-related protein-1/liver fibrinogen-related protein-1 (HFREP-1/LFIRE-1), a liver-specific protein, is a member of fibrinogen superfamily that exerts various biological activities. However, the function of HFREP-1/LFIRE-1 in liver remains unknown. Here we isolated its mouse ortholog gene-mouse fibrinogen-related protein-1 (mfrep-1), which encoded 314 amino acids, exhibiting 80.4% similarity to HFREP-1/LFIRE-1. Northern blot analysis revealed that 1.2-kb mfrep-1 mRNA was detected selectively in mouse liver. To explore the function of MFREP-1, we examined the levels of mfrep-1 mRNA during regeneration after 70% partial hepatectomy (PHx) in mice. mfrep-1 mRNA increased in the regenerating liver and reached the first shoulder peak at 2-4 h after PHx. Cycloheximide pretreatment could suppress the induction of mfrep-1, indicating the up-regulation of this gene need de novo protein synthesis. Its mRNA continued to elevate at 6 h thereafter and reached the second peak at 24 h. The enhanced expression of mfrep-1 maintained high until 72 h and then declined slowly to the basal level. Immunohistochemistry assessment confirmed the up-regulated expression of MFREP-1 protein in parenchymal cells during liver regeneration. These data suggested that MFREP-1 might play an important role in liver regeneration and be involved in the regulation of cell growth.
