In-depth knowledge of liver regeneration could facilitate the development of therapies for liver injury and liver failure. As a member of the homeobox superfamily, HOXA13 plays an important role in regulating tumorigenesis and development. However, the exact role of HOXA13 in liver regeneration remains unclear. In this study, we confirmed that HOXA13 promotes hepatocyte proliferation both in vivo and in vitro. HOXA13 was upregulated during liver regeneration, and its overexpression further accelerated hepatocyte proliferation and liver function recovery during liver regeneration. Furthermore, we found that HOXA13 promoted hepatocyte proliferation and liver regeneration by upregulating bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) mRNA. These findings provide a new potential target for the treatment of liver failure. (C) 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
