Deskripsi
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4α) is regulated by different promoters to generate two isoforms, one of which functions as a tumor suppressor. Here, the authors reveal that induction of the alternative isoform in hepatocellular carcinoma inhibits the circadian clock by repressing BMAL1, and the reintroduction of BMAL1 prevents HCC tumor growth.
