Oxidative stress is known to produce tissue injury and to activate various signaling pathways. To investigate the molecular events linked to acute oxidative stress in mouse liver, we injected a toxic dose of paraquat. Liver necrosis was first observed, followed by histological marks of cell proliferation. Concomitantly, activation of the MAP kinase pathway and increased levels of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-XL were observed. Gene expression profiles revealed that the differentially expressed genes were potentially involved in cell proliferation. These data suggest that paraquat-induced acute oxidative stress triggers the activation of regeneration-related events in the liver.
