Abstract excerpt
The mRNA expression of HNF-4 isoforms and the ratio of HNF-1alpha/HNF-1beta variants in cell lines representing highly specialized phenotypes of human intestinal epithelium were studied by RT-PCR. A strong rise in expression of HNF-4 isoforms alpha2, alpha4 and gamma correlates with commitment into highly differentiated enterocyte-like phenotype of Caco-2 cells which best mimic enterocytes, whereas only isoform...
