Abstract excerpt
The hic-5 gene encodes the novel LIM protein which has been implicated in cellular senescence and differentiation processes. Previous studies of rat calvarial cells stimulated to differentiate by addition of retinoic acid (R.A.) showed a four-fold increase in hic-5 expression which preceded an increase in the expression of the differentiation markers, alkaline phosphatase and alpha (I) pro-collagen mRNA. These...
