This study explores the effect of SRC-1 and SRC-2 deficiency on liver hyperplasia induced by TCPOBOP treatment. Results show no significant differences in liver weight, hepatocyte number, BrdU-positive cells, and c-Myc/Foxm-1 expression between wild-type and deficient mice.

SRC-1 or SRC-2 deficiency does not affect TCPOBOP-induced hepatic hyperplasia. (A) Relative liver weight of wild-type, SRC-1-/-, or SRC-2-/- mice at 72 h after TCPOBOP administration. (B) Hepatocyte number per visual field in the sections of livers from SRC-1-/- or SRC-2-/- micewas more than that of wild-type controls at 72 h after TCPOBOP administration. (C) Cumulative BrdU-positive hepatocytes in the livers of SRC-1-/-, or SRC-2-/- micewere similar to that of wild-type controls at 72 h after TCPOBOP administration (1500-2000 hepatocyte nuclei per section were counted). (D) Expression of c-Myc or Foxm-1 in the livers of SRC-1-/- and SRC-2-/- mice was similar to that of wild-type controls at 72 h after TCPOBOP treatment. mRNA expression of c-Myc and Foxm-1 was assessed by real-time PCR. Data are the means + SD of four male mice per group. * p<0.05, ** p<0.01. Supplementary Figure 3
