Suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) down-regulates several signaling pathways in multiple cell types, and previous data suggest that SOCS3 may shut off cytokine activation at the early stages of liver regeneration. We developed hepatocyte-specific Socs3 knockout (Socs3 h-KO) mice to directly ...

Liver cirrhosis is a strong risk factor for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yet the mechanisms by which cirrhosis predisposes patients to tumorigenesis are not well understood. Transgenic mice expressing platelet-derived growth factor C (Pdgf-c) under the control of the albumin pr...

Over expression of PDGF-C in mouse liver resulted in the progression of hepatic fibrosis, steatosis and the development of HCC; this mouse model closely resembles the human HCC that is frequently associated with hepatic fibrosis. Peretinoin (generic name; code, NIK-333), developed by the Kowa Compan...

Gene expression profiling in non tumor lesion in the liver of patients prior to administering peretinoin was unrelated to the clinical outcome, however, gene expression profiling 8 weeks after starting peretinoin therapy significantly predicted the recurrence of HCC Peretinoin, a member of the acycl...
