Role of IL-17RA in the proliferative priming of hepatocytes in liver regeneration.

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 expr
