Brahma-related gene-1 (Brg1) is a center subunit of the switch/sucrose nonfermentable complex. After partial hepatectomy, Brg1 hepatocyte-specific knockout mice (Brg1 KO mice) showed a significantly lower regeneration rate compared to wildtype mice. RNA sequencing showed that Brg1 modulated the expression of cell cycle genes. After CCl4 treatment, less fibrosis and inflammation response in Brg1 KO mice compared to wildtype mice was observed. Taken together, this study demonstrates the critical role of Brg1 in the regulation of liver regeneration and liver fibrosis.
