Abstract excerpt
An insulin-responsive line of rat hepatoma cells, H4IIE, was used to investigate the basis for insulin's transcriptional regulation of HMG-CoA reductase. Insulin addition to the media of these cells resulted in at least a 10-fold increase in levels of HMG-CoA reductase protein. Adding insulin to H4IIE cells transfected with pHMGR1 (containing the proximal reductase promoter from -270 to +20 ligated to luciferase)...
