Recent studies show CXC chemokine elevations after hepatic resection; blockade of epithelial neutrophilactivating protein (ENA-78), a CXC chemokine, retards hepatic regeneration after resection. Additional studies demonstrate that exogenous macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2, another CXC chemokine, is therapeutic in a murine acetaminophen toxicity model when other therapies fail. The current investigations study MIP-2's effects on the cellular mechanisms involved in liver regeneration in mice after 70% hepatectomy. Administration of exogenous MIP-2 after 70% hepatectomy dramatically increased hepatocyte proliferation as measured by 5-bromo-2'deoxyuridine staining. Signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (stat-3) was also detected in greater abundance and persisted in hepatic nuclear extracts from MIP-2-treated mice compared with control mice after hepatic resection. Further, inhibition of the MIP-2 receptor, CXCR2, decreased baseline hepatocyte proliferation and stat-3 expression in the setting of partial hepatectomy. These data show that MIP-2 is important for hepatocyte proliferation after partial hepatectomy and that pharmacological MIP-2 doses after hepatic injury accelerate hepatic regeneration.
