Background and Aims: It has been recently stated, that Cyclin E1 and E2 are dispensable in continuously dividing cells, but essential for cell cycle reentry of quiescent cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of E-type cyclins for cells proliferation during fibrogenesis. Methods: For our studies hepatocyte-specific c-myc transgenic animals (myc) containing a knockout for either cyclin E1 (E1KO) or E2 (E2KO) were generated and analyzed after 9, 20, 40 and 60 weeks for histological and molecular markers of cell cycle activity (cyclin E1, E2, BrdU incorporation), apoptosis (TUNEL) and fibrosis (co…
