## Abstract The presence of telomerase has been demonstrated recently in many different malignancies. Several reports documented that in human hepatocellular carcinoma, the level of telomerase activity parallels its differentiation stage. In the present study, the effect of the differentiation‐indu

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) is constitutively expressed in the mouse liver, but the constitutive expression progressively declines to an undetectable level in isolated hepatocytes. In this study, CYP1A2 was induced in hepatocytes exposed to the histone deacetylase inhibitors trichostatin A (TSA) and sodium butyrate (SB), but only well after constitutive CYP1A2 expression was silenced. However, cotreatment with the arylhydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligand 2,3,7,8‐tetrachlorodibenzo‐p‐dioxin (TCDD) and either TSA or SB reduced the induction of CYP1A2 with the same time course as TSA or SB increased its induction. These results suggest that histone modification is involved in CYP1A2 regulation in hepatocytes through pathways that are independent of AhR. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract The aim of the current study was to investigate the cAMP‐dependent regulation of arginase‐1 (ARG1) expression in RAW‐macrophages. Basal ARG1 mRNA expression was low and increased upon incubation with the cAMP analogue Br‐cAMP. We used selective agonists of protein kinase A type I (PKAI)
Carbofuran is a nematicide used in agricultural fields throughout the world. Indiscriminate use of this pesticide poses severe detrimental effects on our ecosystem. We have shown that it induces the CYP1A (cytochrome P4501A) monooxygenase enzyme system in cultured hepatocytes from Indian catfish, He
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) is clinically and toxicologically important and exhibits 24-hour periodicity in its activity. In the present study, we investigated whether hepatic nuclear factor-1␣ (HNF-1␣) and clock genes with a striking 24-hour rhythm in mouse liver contributed to the 24-hour regulat
Disruption of the enterohepatic bile acid circulation during biliary tract obstruction leads to profound perturbation of the cholesterol and bile acid metabolic pathways. Several families of nuclear receptor proteins have been shown to modulate this critical process by regulating hepatic cholesterol
