Liver specific deletion of CYLDexon7/8 induces severe biliary damage, fibrosis and increases hepatocarcinogenesis in mice
2012
Background & Aims CYLD is a tumor suppressor gene that is mutated in familial cylindromatosis, an autosomal dominant predisposition to tumors of skin appendages. Reduced CYLD expression has been observed in other tumor entities, including hepatocellular carcinoma. In the present study, we analyzed the role of CYLD in liver homeostasis and hepatocarcinogenesis in vivo . Methods Mice with liver-specific deletion of CYLDexon7/8 ( CYLD FF xAlbCre ) were generated. Liver tissues were histologically analyzed and oval cell activation was investigated. Hepatocarcinogenesis was induced by diethylnitrosamine/phenobarbital (DEN/PB). Microarray expression profiling of livers was performed in untreated …
SEX DIFFERENCES IN THE PATTERN OF CYTOCHROMES P-450 IN RAT LIVER MICROSOMES
1977
ABSTRACT A number of sex differences in the spectral and enzymic properties of rat liver microsomes have been observed which may reflect differences in the population of hepatic cytochromes P 450 of male and female rats: 1. a blue shift in the spectrum of the reduced P 450-CO complex in females as compared to males, 2. lower ΔA max values in the binding of metyrapone to reduced microsomes in females as compared to males, 3. a higher proportion of 2-hydroxylation in the metabolism of biphenyl in females as compared to males, 4. preferential inhibition of ethoxycoumarin deethylation, benzpyrene hydroxylation and biphenyl-4-hydroxylation by α-naphthoflavone in females but by metyrapone in male…
