FIGURE 4. — CJ suppresses and delays liver regeneration in small partial liver graft. A, Graft weight increase ratio was significantly lower in the 30% CJ group than in the 30% CC group at 24, 72, and 168 h post-LT. *P < 0.05, †P < 0.01, Mann-Whitney U test. n = 5/group. B, The number of Ki-67–positive cells was significantly lower in the 30% CJ group than in the 30% CC group at 24 h post-LT. The number of Ki-67–positive cells was lower in the 30% CJ group than in the 30% CC group at 72 and 168 h post-LT although the difference was not significant. *P < 0.05, Mann-Whitney U test. n = 5/group. C, We observed early elevation of intrahepatic mRNA expression of IL-1β, a strong inhibitor of hepatocyte proliferation, in the 30% CJ group at 24 h post-LT. Intrahepatic IL-1β mRNA expression was significantly higher in the 30% CJ group than in the 30% CC group at 72 h post-LT. *P < 0.05, Mann-Whitney U test. n = 5/group. D, The increase in intrahepatic VEGF mRNA expression was delayed in 30% CJ and intrahepatic VEGF mRNA expression was significantly lower in the 30% CJ group than in the 30% CC group at 72 h post-LT. *P < 0.05, Mann-Whitney U test. n = 5/group. 30% CC, arterialized 30% partial liver transplantation with choledocho-choledochostomy; 30% CJ, arterialized 30% partial liver transplantation with choledocho-jejunostomy; CC, choledocho-choledochostomy; CJ, choledocho-jejunostomy; IL, interleukin; LT, liver transplantation; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor.
