Abstract excerpt
Hepatoma cell lines can be characterized by their expression of hepatocyte- and biliary-specific genes and by their response to differentiating agents in a lineage-dependent manner. These characteristics can be used to map the maturational lineage position of the cell lines. Tissue-specific gene expression and regulation by heparin, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), and sodium butyrate (SB) were examined in three rat...
