Zusammenfassung
Canonical cell cycle activation in quiescent hepatocytes prior to liver regeneration involves complex formation of cyclin E1 (CcnE1) with its associated cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2), thereby initiating DNA-replication (S-phase). Surprisingly, we previously found that unique loss of either Cdk2 or CcnE1 does not affect hepatocyte proliferation after partial hepatectomy (PH). Thus, the aim of the current study was to evaluate the compensatory mechanisms driving liver regeneration in absence of Cdk2. Formation of the pre-replication complex (pre-RC) and loading of minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins on ch…
