Mice deficient in the OSM receptor (OSMR (-/-)) showed impaired liver regeneration with persistent parenchymal necrosis after carbon tetrachloride (CCl (4)) exposure.
In contrast to wildtype mice, CCl (4) administration only marginally induced expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 and TIMP-2 genes in OSMR (-/-) mice, correlating with the increased gelatinase activity of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and matrix degradation in injured livers.

At the beginning of the 7 (th) and 11 (th) wk, rats in each group were routinely perfused with pronase E and type IV collagenase through portal vein catheter and the suspension was centrifuged by 11% Nycodenz density gradient to isolate hepatic stellate cells (HSCs).
