Abstract

Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) transgenic mice expressed the IFN-gamma gene in the liver and developed chronic hepatitis. The expression of cyclooxygenase (Cox)-1 and -2 mRNA were studied in the livers of these mice. A faint band of Cox-1 mRNA was observed in the livers of both normal and transgenic mice. Slight expression of Cox-2 mRNA was observed in the normal mouse liver, and this mRNA expression was induced in the transgenic mouse liver. The present results showed the induction of Cox-2 mRNA expression in the livers of transgenic mice with chronic hepatitis.
