dc.description.abstractHistopathological and immunohistochemical studies were carried out on D-galactosamine (Ga1NAc)- induced acute hepatitis in rats of the JCl: Wistar TgN (ARGHGEN) 1 Nts strain (Mini rats), in which expression of the growth hormone gene is suppressed by an antisense transgene. Hepatitis characterized by hepatocellular acidophilic necrosis with inflammatory cell infiltration was most prominent at 2 days after GalNAc (1000mglkg)-injection, when proliferation of Ito cells and deposition of fibronectin and laminin were found along the sinusoidal linings. At 72 hours after GalNAc-injection, Ito cell proliferation with deposition of laminin and fibronectin became more prominent, and marked proliferation of small epithelial cells was observed in the periportal area. At 7 days after GalNAcinjection, quite a number of a-smooth muscle actinpositive Ito cells, surrounded by abundant fibronectin, laminin and type IV collagen, were still observed in close juxtaposition to rapidly proliferating small epithelial cells. The small epithelial cells were found to be positive for both a-fetoprotein and cytokeratin 7 and were therefore considered to be so-called oval cells. The results suggest that there may be some relation between oval cell proliferation, Ito cell activation and extracellular matrix accumulation in GalNAc-induced acute hepatitis in Mini rats.es
