Abstract
Using the differential display polymerase chain reaction (DDRT-PCR) a 169 bp cDNA product, which is 88.8% homologous to the human Mi-2beta autoantigen, was identified in H4IIE rat hepatoma cells. At protein level 100% homology was found. The Mi-2 mRNA was downregulated after hypoosmotic exposure and upregulated after hyperosmotic exposure in H4IIE cells and rat hepatocytes. The human Mi-2 is an autoantigen in dermatomyositis and is a member of the SNF/RAD 54 helicase family. Accordingly, Mi-2 may not only be a target of osmosignalling but could also be involved in the osmosignalling pathway towards gene expression in H4IIE and liver parenchymal cells.Entities:
