General description
HepaRG is a human hepatoma cell line. The cells possess a pseudodiploid karyotype and have been characterized as an oval ductular bipotent hepatic cell line as they have the ability to differentiate into both biliary and hepatocyte lineages in the presence of DMSO. HepaRG AHR knockout cells express the major xenobiotic sensors (PXR and CAR), drug transporters, phase I and II drug metabolizing enzymes as well as key hepatic transcription factors involved in stress response pathways.
Application
See technical bulletin for detailed protocols
Features and Benefits
HepaRG cells are the most metabolically active human hepatocyte cell line developed to date. These the cells are suitable for a wide variety of studies for drug metabolism, CYP induction, metabolism-mediated toxicity, transporter, and hepatotoxicity. - Sigma′s HepaRG AHR Knockout (KO) allows conclusive identification of CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 induction through AHR activation.
Zinc finger nucleases (ZFN) mediated Knockout of AHR (AHR) gene.
- The frame-shift mutation of AHR gene was confirmed by fragment length analysis and DNA sequencing.
- Loss of functionality was confirmed by loss of response to inducers of cytochrome P450 activity.
Quality
Tested for Mycoplasma, sterility, post-freeze viability, short terminal repeat (STR) analysis for cell line identification, cytochrome oxidase I (COI) analysis for cell line species confirmation.

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor implicated in multiple cellular processes and its expression has been shown to play a critical role in tumorigenesis. However, the role of AhR in tumorigenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma remains unclear.

Identification of new molecular targets for the treatment of breast cancer is an important clinical goal, especially for triple-negative breast cancer, which is refractory to existing targeted treatments. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor known primarily

During the course of alcohol-induced liver damage, hepatic stellate cells are transformed into proliferative, fibrogenic, and contractile myofibroblasts. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a transcription factor that controls the expression of genes involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics, inflammation, cell

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a drug-sensing receptor activated by environmental contaminants such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), and is known to drive regulation of target genes in various human cell types. Its involvement in TCDD-mediated regulation of target genes in human
