Hepatocyte proliferation and collagen I (COLI) secretion are important processes during liver regeneration. This study aimed to investigate the role of CXCL6 in hepatocyte proliferation and COLI secretion. Serum CXCL6 levels in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) were examined and the effects of CXCL6 on the proliferation of L02 hepatocytes and the secretion of COLI from LX2 human hepatic stellate cells were evaluated. We found that serum CXCL6 levels increased gradually with disease progression of CHB, and there was positive correlation between serum CXCL6 level and alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST). In vitro, CXCL6 promoted L02 proliferation but this was blocked upon CXCR1 knockdown. The level of phospho-I kappa B alpha was upregulated by CXCL6 but downregulated by CXCR1 siRNA in L02 cells. CXCL6 inhibited the secretion of COLI by LX2 cells, dependent on CXCR1 and CXCR2. Taken together, these data suggest that increased expression of CXCL6 during CHB could promote hepatocyte proliferation through the CXCR1-NF kappa B pathway and inhibit the secretion of COLI by hepatic stellate cells.
