Underexpressed Coactivators PGC1α AND SRC1 Impair Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4α Function and Promote Dedifferentiation in Human Hepatoma Cells
4 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4alpha (HNF4alpha) plays critical roles during liver development and in the transcriptional regulation of many hepatic genes in adult liver. Here we have demonstrated that in human hepatoma HepG2 cells, HNF4alpha is expressed at levels as high as in human liver but its activity on target genes is very low or absent. We have discovered that the low expression of key coactivators...
