Incompatibility of the circadian protein BMAL1 and HNF4α in hepatocellular carcinoma

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 t...
