In the present study, we demonstrate that on the mRNA level hypoxic stimulation of HepG2 cells led to (i) an induction of the positive AP reactants alpha 1-antitrypsin, alpha 1-antichymotrypsin, complement C3, haptoglobin, and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein; (ii) a down-regulation of the negative AP reactant albumin; (iii) an up-regulation of the negative AP reactant transferrin; and (iv) unchanged levels of the positive AP reactants alpha- and beta-fibrinogen as well as hemopexin.
