Loss of FOXA2 induces ER stress and hepatic steatosis and alters developmental gene expression in human iPSC-derived hepatocytes by Maryam Aghadi (17128819)

“…Lack of FOXA2 resulted in significant alterations in the expression of key developmental and functional genes in hepatic progenitors (HP) and mature hepatocytes (MH) as well as an increase in the expression of ER stress markers. Functional assays demonstrated an increase in lipid accumulation, bile acid synthesis and glycerol production, while a decrease in glucose uptake, glycogen storage, and Albumin secretion. …”
