August 2014 Selected Summaries 533 hepatocyte proliferation by removing the TGF-b1 “brake.” A different mechanism accounted for the stimulatory effects of Ang-2 on the later angiogenic phase of liver regeneration whereby Ang-2 up-regulates vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) through autocrine stimulation of the Ang-2 receptor, Tie2.The authors conclude that LSEC not only respond to secreted signals, but also generate signals to directly modulate liver regeneration. In the early phase after PHx, LSEC-derived Ang-2 is down-regulated, resulting in reduced TGF-b1, and allowing hepatocyte proliferation. In the angiogenic phase, Ang-2 up-regulation provokes VEGFR-2 signaling to induce proliferation of nonparenchymal cells. Thus, a single molecule, Ang-2, can regulate liver regeneration through temporal and cell-type–specific effects.
