Notch signaling controls hepatoblast differentiation by altering the expression of liver-enriched transcription factors
28 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
Hepatoblasts give rise to both mature hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. While Notch signaling has been implicated in the formation of bile ducts composed of cholangiocytes, little is known about the mechanism of lineage commitment of hepatoblasts. Here we describe the role of the Notch pathway in hepatoblast differentiation. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that Jagged1 was expressed in the cells surrounding the...
