Which of the following regulatory scenarios of cell-type-specific expression of fibronectin isoforms in humans is (are) consistent with information on known splicing factors?

a. A Tra-like splicing factor expressed in fibroblasts is required for inclusion of EIIIA and EIIIB exons.

b. An Sxl-like splicing factor is required in hepatocytes for exclusion of EIIIA and EIIIB exons.

c. A Tra-2-like factor enhances binding of the cleavage/polyadenylation complex in fibroblasts.

d. A Dsx-like protein is required to inhibit transcription of the fibronectin gene.
