Low-temperature effect on the sterol-dependent processing of SREBPs and transcription of related genes in HepG2 cells

Lowering the growth temperature of HepG2 cells from 37°C to 20°C results in a 73% reduction in human squalene synthase (HSS) protein, a 76% reduction in HSS mRNA, and a 96% reduction in promoter activity of a secreted alkaline phosphatase-HSS reporter gene. A similar decrease in either mRNA or prote...
