MacroH2A1 isoforms are associated with epigenetic markers for activation of lipogenic genes in fat‐induced steatosis
19 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
The importance of epigenetic changes in the development of hepatic steatosis is largely unknown. The histone variant macroH2A1 under alternative splicing gives rise to macroH2A1.1 and macroH2A1.2. In this study, we show that the macroH2A1 isoforms play an important role in the regulation of lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. Hepatoma cell line and immortalized human hepatocytes transiently transfected or knocked...
