Enhancement of CYP3A4 activity in Hep G2 cells by lentiviral transfection of hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 alpha. [PDF]
Human hepatoma cell lines are commonly used as alternatives to primary hepatocytes for the study of drug metabolism in vitro. However, the phase I cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme activities in these cell lines occur at a much lower level than their ...

Gliclazide challenge testing as an alternative diagnostic tool for hepatocyte nuclear factor-1-alpha maturity onset diabetes of the young [PDF]
Background: Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1-alpha monogenic diabetes (HNF1-alpha DM), formerly known as maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 3 (MODY 3), is often misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes. In regions where genetic testing is unavailable,

Genetic Study of Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1 Alpha Variants in Development of Early-Onset Diabetes Type 2 and Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young 3 in Iran [PDF]
Background: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of diabetes characterized by noninsulin-dependent, autosomal-dominant disorder with strong familial history, early age of onset, and pancreatic ...

Identification of a novel hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 alpha (HNF1A) variant in maturity onset diabetes of the young type 3 (HNF1A-MODY) [PDF]
We identified an adolescent young woman with new-onset diabetes. Due to suspicious family history, she underwent genetic testing for common monogenic diabetes (MODY) genes.

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha influences pancreatic cancer growth and metastasis. [PDF]
AbstractHepatocyte nuclear factor 1 homeobox alpha (HNF1α) is a transcription factor involved in endodermal organogenesis and pancreatic precursor cell differentiation and development. Earlier studies have reported a role for HNF1α in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) but it is controversial.

Diffuse glomerular nodular lesions in diabetic pigs carrying a dominant-negative mutant hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-alpha, an inheritant diabetic gene in humans. [PDF]
Glomerular nodular lesions, known as Kimmelstiel-Wilson nodules, are a pathological hallmark of progressive human diabetic nephropathy. We have induced severe diabetes in pigs carrying a dominant-negative mutant hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-alpha (HNF1α ...

Repression of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha by AP-1 underlies dyslipidemia associated with retinoic acid[S] [PDF]
All-trans retinoic acid (atRA) is used to treat certain cancers and dermatologic diseases. A common adverse effect of atRA is hypercholesterolemia; cytochrome P450 (CYP) 7A repression is suggested as a driver. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms

MODY: Strategies for a unique form of diabetes [PDF]
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a monogenic, autosomal dominant form of diabetes that typically presents before the age of 25. It is caused by mutations in single genes involved in insulin production and glucose regulation, leading to ...
