Human hepatoma Huh-7 cell culture models deficient in apolipoprotein B secretion

Abstract excerpt

ApoB is an essential structural protein for the assembly and secretion of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and therefore remains a potential target to lower plasma cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolemia patients. To understand the global consequences of APOB gene deficiency, we employed CRISPR-Cas9 system to generate apoB-deficient human hepatoma Huh-7 cells (Ako cells). ApoB was not detectable in the cells and...
