Abstract excerpt
We previously constructed an immortal human hepatocyte line NKNT-3 with a simian virus 40 T antigen (SV40T) to develop cell-based biological therapies. p21 is a molecule that regulates the transition from the G1 phase to the S phase of the cell cycle. Investigators have demonstrated that overexpression of p21 induces differentiation in various cell lines. In the current study we examined the effect of p21 on...
