Activin A is an autocrine inhibitor of cell growth in the liver. The biological activity of activin A is mediated by a heteromeric receptor complex. Follistatin (FS) binds to activin and inhibits its biological effects, and acts as a negative regulator of muscle cells. The role of activin receptors during liver regeneration following a hepatectomy has not been fully assessed. This study investigates the mechanism underlying how activin receptors regulate hepatocyte growth, and the effects of intravenous administration of FS during liver regeneration.
