Purification and properties of a rat liver protein that specifically inhibits the proliferation of nonmalignant epithelial cells from rat liver

Purification and properties of a rat liver protein that specifically inhibits the proliferation of nonmalignant epithelial cells from rat liver

J B McMahon et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1982 Jan.

Abstract

An inhibitor of cell proliferation was purified from rat liver by alcohol precipitation, ultrafiltration, and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The hepatic proliferation inhibitor was shown to be pure by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, analytical isoelectric focusing, and high-performance liquid chromatography. The hepatic proliferation inhibitor was found to have a molecular weight of 26,000 and an isoelectric point of 4.65. This protein inhibited the proliferation of nonmalignant rat liver cells in culture, and removal of the protein reversed the inhibition produced by low doses. It exerted no effect on the proliferation of malignant rat liver cells.
