Adult ablation of FoxA factors reduces expression of key liver genes back to early developmental stages. (A) Expression of FoxA target genes is reduced back to the levels of early fetal stages following acute FoxA ablation. (Def.) Definitive. All gene expression levels are significantly lower in the FoxA-triple-null compared with hepatoblasts (adjusted P-value < 0.001) except for Arg1, Plg, and C1s. (B) The majority of FoxA-dependent genes in the adult liver are induced during liver development, and many are deactivated in the FoxA-triple-null liver back to total hepatoblast levels (adjusted P-value < 0.01) (for details, see the Materials and Methods). (TKO) FoxA-triple-null mutants. (C) Heat map demonstrating genes down-regulated back to hepatic or prehepatic stage in the FoxA-triple-null mutants.
