Rattus norvegicus | interleukin-1 can potently downregulate mRNA and protein levels of LRAT and act as injury signal resulting in mobilization of retinyl esters in primary rat hepatic stellate cells. Secreted factors from Kupffer cells are able to suppress LRAT expression in hepatic stellate cells, which is neutralized by interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. The regulation is likely at transcriptional level. Interleukin-1 fails to downregulate recombinant LRAT protein expressed in the cells by adenovirus, while transcription of endogenous LRAT is promptly decreased. Interleukin-1 is a key mediator to down-regulate LRAT in liver injury | down |

physiological function | downregulation of LRAT expression in rat hepatic stellate cells is required for mobilization of retinyl ester in liver injury for tissue repair and wound healing, interleukin-1 is a potent suppressor of LRAT with a hierarchy role in the transcriptional regulation, interleukin-1 does not regulate the stability of LRAT protein.
