  • Title: Primary rat hepatocytes express cyclin D1 messenger RNA during their growth cycle and during mitogenic transitions induced by transforming growth factor-alpha.
    Author: Koch KS, Lu XP, Leffert HL.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1994 Oct 14; 204(1):91-7. PubMed ID: 7945397.
    Abstract:
    Cyclin D1 messenger RNA expression was investigated in differentiated proliferation-competent primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes. Periodic expression was observed during the 12-day growth cycle (approximately two population doublings). Upon reaching a quiescent G(o)-state, 4-kb cyclin D1 mRNA levels were undetectable. When G(o) cultures were shifted into defined media without or with 0.2-0.8 nM TGF-alpha, conditions that reinitiate full proliferative transitions synchronously, cyclin D1 mRNA levels were elevated 1.2-4.6-fold, respectively. These findings support the hypothesis that hepatic mitogens stimulate periodic cyclin mRNA expression directly.
