In order to isolate genes which are induced during liver regeneration, we have constructed a cDNA library from 16-h-regenerating liver poly(A)+ RNA. By computer analysis of autoradiograms produced by differential plaque hybridization with cDNA from normal or 16-h-regenerating liver, we have isolated several recombinant clones representing sequences transiently increased during liver regeneration. Three of these were further characterized: the level of the corresponding mRNAs increase rapidly after partial hepatectomy, before the onset of DNA synthesis. Two clones were identified as fibrinogen clones. It is speculated that alpha-fibrinogen may be involved in the growth process, or in its regulation.
