Abstrakt: Liver regeneration is a well-orchestrated compensatory process that is regulated by multiple factors. We recently reported the importance of the chromatin protein, a high-mobility group box 2 (HMGB2) in mouse liver regeneration. However, the molecular mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to study how HMGB2 regulates hepatocyte proliferation during liver regeneration. Seventy-percent partial hepatectomy (PHx) was performed in wild-type (WT) and HMGB2-knockout (KO) mice, and the liver tissues were used for microarray, immunohistochemistry, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and Western blotting analyses. In the WT mice, HMGB2-positive hepatocytes colocalized with cell proliferation markers. In the HMGB2-KO mice, hepatocyte proliferation was significantly decreased. Oil Red O staining revealed the transient accumulation of lipid droplets at 12-24 hr after PHx in the WT mouse livers. In contrast, decreased amount of lipid droplets were found in HMGB2-KO mouse livers, and it was preserved until 36 hr. The microarray, immunohistochemistry, and qPCR results demonstrated that the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes was significantly decreased in the HMGB2-KO mouse livers. The in vitro experiments demonstrated that a decrease in the amount of lipid droplets correlated with decreased cell proliferation activity in HMGB2-knockdown cells. HMGB2 promotes de novo lipogenesis to accelerate hepatocyte proliferation during liver regeneration.
