Novel mechanism of transcriptional activation of hepatic LDL receptor by oncostatin M

In this paper we describe a sterol-independent regulation of low density, lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) transcription by the cytokine oncostatin M (OM) in HepG2 cells. We show that OM-induced expression is independent of cholesterol regulation and occurs at the transcriptional level. To elucidate regu...
