To further our studies on collagen gene expression, we have evaluated the molecular basis for the finding that steroids decrease collagen synthesis in cultured hepatocytes. We studied the effects of dexamethasone on primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes grown on tissue culture plastic in either

## Abstract Biochanin A (BCA), a phytoestrogen present in plant food and herbal products, has been reported to have cancerβpreventive effects that may be mediated, in part, through effects on carcinogen metabolism. Our objective was to examine the effect of BCA on gene expression for drugβmetaboliz
The response of cells to physical or biochemical stress involves concerted changes in the expression of a large number of genes encoding various functions. We have used a quantitative kinetic RT PCR technique to follow the dynamics of changes in transcription factor and acute-phase mRNA levels in cu
Rapamycin, a potent immunosuppressive drug that disrupts normal signal-transduction processes, inhibited hepatocyte proliferation without evidence of inherent cytotoxicity in rat hepatocytes cultured in conventional medium or in a medium enriched with epidermal growth factor. The antiproliferative e
