Changes in the expression of two proto-oncogenes, c-jun and c-Ha-ras and their modulation by MPG were studied in regenerating rat liver. A significant increase in c-jun and c-Ha-ras mRNA levels was noted after partial hepatectomy. However, the increase in c-Ha-ras mRNA was much less when compared with c-jun mRNA levels. Metallothionein (MT-I) mRNA levels showed a gradual decrease following partial hepatectomy. However, the decrease in MT-I mRNA levels was not significant when intertime comparisons were made. MPG caused a significant reduction in the levels of c-jun and c-Ha-ras mRNA in the regenerating rat liver compared to untreated controls, but had very little effect on MT-I mRNA levels. Selective reduction in the expression of proto-oncogenes by MPG suggests that MPG may affect the cell proliferation by modulating the expression of these genes.
