Here we report that Per2 plays a protective role in carbon tetrachloride (CCl (4))-induced hepatotoxicity via the modulation of uncoupling protein-2 (Ucp2) gene expression in mice.

J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2005 Oct;315(1):58-68. Epub 2005 Jun 24.

Here, we investigated whether FXR ligands regulate PPARgamma expression in HSCs and models of liver fibrosis induced in rats by porcine serum and carbon tetrachloride administration and bile duct ligation.
Cotreatment with 6-ECDCA potentiates the antifibrotic activity of rosiglitazone, a PPARgamma ligand, in the porcine serum model as measured by morphometric analysis of liver collagen content, hydroxyproline, and liver expression of alpha1 (I) collagen mRNA, alpha-smooth muscle actin, fibronectin, TGFbeta1, and tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease 1 and 2, whereas it enhanced the expression of PPARgamma and uncoupling protein 2, a PPARgamma-regulated gene, by 2-fold.

Hepatocyte damage was reduced in A (1) AR (-/-) mice after a single injection of CCl (4), with down-regulation of CYP2E1 and UCP2 gene expression in livers, which resulted in impaired liver sensitivity to CCl (4).

The hypothesis that fatty hepatocytes undergo cell cycle arrest due to (1) an inability to replenish ATP due to overexpressed uncoupling protein-2 (UCP-2) or (2) induction of growth inhibitor p21 leading to G1/S phase arrest was tested.
