EE2-induced cholestasis represses HNF4α transactivation of CYP2D6 promoter. Tg-CYP2D6 mice were injected subcuaneously with EE2 (10 mg/kg) or vehicle (olive oil) daily for 5 days (n = 5 mice/group). Recruitment of HNF4α, SHP, and RNA Pol II to (A) CYP2D6 promoter and (B) Cyp8b1 promoter was analyzed by ChIP assay using the mouse liver tissues. Values are presented as mean ± S.E.M. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01, versus vehicle treatment.
