Background

Orosomucoid 1 (ORM1) is an acute-phase protein that is primarily expressed by hepatocytes under stress conditions, such as during inflammation, injury, or infection. It is a member of the lipocalin family and is known for its immunomodulatory properties, including the ability to inhibit neutrophil chemotaxis, superoxide production, lymphocyte proliferation, and platelet aggregation. ORM1 also has the capacity to interfere with cytokine function by inducing the secretion of soluble TNFα receptor (sTNFR) and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL1-Ra). In mice, ORM1 plays a significant role in liver regeneration. Transcriptome analysis has revealed that ORM1 is mostly induced in hepatocytes as a regulator of mouse liver regeneration. Knockdown of ORM1 in mice has been shown to impair liver regeneration, with poor hepatocyte growth and suppressed cell cycle signaling. This suggests that ORM1 is not only a marker of acute-phase response but also a functional protein that contributes to the regenerative process of the liver.
