Gene expression profiles for genetically engineered human hepatoma HepG2/8F_HS cells with or without heat treatment, cultured as monolayer or spheroids

ABSTRACT: We developed genetically engineered HepG2/8F_HS cells, in which eight liver-enriched transcription factor (LETF) genes—hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1α, HNF-1β, HNF-3β, HNF-4α, HNF-6, CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP)-α, C/EBP-β and C/EBP-γ— under the control of TRE/PCMVmin promoter were introduced into a previously developed human hepatoma cell line (HepG2-HSP). The heat-inducible synthetic promoter system was introduced into HepG2 cells and tetracycline-responsive transactivator (tTA) and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) were expressed via positive feedback of tTA transcription in response to heat treatment. HepG2/8F_HS cells can induce high liver functions by heat treatment via overexpression of LETF genes.
