Abstract excerpt
The capacity of the liver-enriched transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (HNF4) to direct redifferentiation of dedifferentiated rat hepatoma cells was investigated by stable transfection of epitope-tagged HNF4 cDNA into H5 variant cells. HNF4-producing cells expressed the previously silent HNF1 gene and showed activation of some hepatic functions, including alpha1-antitrypsin, beta-fibrinogen, and...
