| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to establish the generation of functional hepatocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). It revealed that the hepatic differentiation method using human HNF6-expressing adenovirus contributed to the efficient development of hepatocytes from iPSCs. HNF6 was introduced into the iPSHCs, CYP3A4 expression dramatically increased and the cells had the capability to metabolize testosterone. Our study proved for the first time that HNF6 transactivates the CYP3A4gene in hepatocyte-like cells differentiated from iPSCs.
