Abstract

Genes coding for unique or tissue-specific (differentiated) functions in the liver are induced at different times during development. It has generally been felt that transcriptional control represents the dominant mechanism for regulating expression of these genes. We have determined the relative transcription rates and mRNA steady-state levels for a series of genes specifically or preferentially expressed in rat liver and find examples of transcriptional control (albumin, alpha-fetoprotein, alpha 1-antitrypsin, tyrosine aminotransferase, transferrin, and cytochrome P450, TF-1) and post-transcriptional control (alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, apolipoproteins A-1 and E, malic enzyme, and ATP citrate lyase), as well as "mixed" regulation (ligandin and cytochrome P450, R17). Examples have been identified in which the predominant mode for regulating expression of preferentially expressed genes changes from transcriptional to post-transcriptional at different stages of liver development and some members of multigene families (cytochrome P450s and apolipoprotein genes) also show independent and sometimes contrasting modes of regulation. Therefore, it appears that regulation of specific gene expression in the liver is a dynamic process, far more complex than heretofore suspected, and a much greater contribution of post-transcriptional regulation accounts for changes in expression of genes representing major functions of the liver.

  • Whether liver cells exhibit fetal or adult phenotypes is controlled by families of factors that regulate the synthesis, splicing, stability, and translation of mRNAs.

    “Whether liver cells exhibit fetal or adult phenotypes is controlled by families of factors that regulate the synthesis, splicing, stability, and translation of mRNAs (Panduro et al. 1987; Bhate et al. 2015; Suzuki et al. 2019; Gong et al. 2020).”

    From ESRP2–microRNA-122 axis promotes the postnatal onset of liver polyploidization and maturation (2025) · cites this paper as Panduro et al. 1987

    The Conclusion (page not available) reports that gene expression changes as rat hepatocytes mature, with some genes regulated transcriptionally and others post-transcriptionally. The Discussion reports changes in apparent mRNA stability, but says the specific factors responsible for regulation are unknown; it does not establish families of factors controlling splicing or translation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
