摘要

Liver is endowed with high regenerative activity, so that the tissue regrows in mouse after partial hepatectomy within days. We reason that this requires de novo pyrimidine synthesis to support rapid progression via the cell cycle. We find that suppression of de novo pyrimidine synthesis prevents proliferation in regenerating liver, suppressing liver regrowth. Tracing studies and spatial metabolomics reveal a metabolic shift such that ammonia, normally detoxified to urea in the periportal region under homeostasis, is redirected for generating aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate periportally, and glutamine pericentrally, and these products are utilized as precursors by the de novo pyrimidine synthesis pathway. Our research uncovers a metabolic reprogramming leading to utilization of a toxic byproduct for anabolic pathways that are essential for liver regeneration.
