BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cholestasis is a serious complication of many liver diseases leading to increased serum bile acids (BA) and their conjugates. Chenodeoxycholic (CDCA) acid is a substrate of the human hepatic UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A3. UGT1A3 may, therefore, be a BA-inducible gene relevant to BA regulation. METHODS: BA and human bile were used to induce UGT1A3 in HepG2 cells. Genomic DNA was analyzed...
