Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 beta: A perspective in cancer. [PDF]
AbstractHepatocyte nuclear factor 1 beta (HNF1 β/B) exists as a homeobox transcription factor having a vital role in the embryonic development of organs mainly liver, kidney and pancreas. Initially described as a gene causing maturity‐onset diabetes of the young (MODY), HNF1β expression deregulation and single nucleotide polymorphisms in HNF1β have now

Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1 Beta Mutation-associated Newborn Onset of Glomerulocystic Kidney Disease: A Case Presentation. [PDF]
Mutations in hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 beta (HNF1B) are the most commonly identified genetic cause of renal malformations. Heterozygous mutations are associated with renal cysts and diabetes syndrome. Various renal developmental abnormalities and maturity-onset diabetes of the young could be the presenting factors of these mutations.

Function annotation of hepatic retinoid x receptor α based on genome-wide DNA binding and transcriptome profiling. [PDF]
BackgroundRetinoid x receptor α (RXRα) is abundantly expressed in the liver and is essential for the function of other nuclear receptors. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and mRNA profiling data generated from wild type and RXRα-null mouse ...

Abnormal splicing of hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 beta in the renal cysts and diabetes syndrome [PDF]
Mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 beta ( HNF-1 beta) gene result in disorders of renal development, typically involving renal cysts and early-onset diabetes (the RCAD syndrome/ MODY5). Sixteen mutations have been reported, including three splicing mutations of the intron 2 splice donor site.

Development and characterization of a new human hepatic cell line [PDF]
The increasing demand and hampered use of primary human hepatocytes for research purposes have urged scientists to search for alternative cell sources, such as immortalized hepatic cell lines.

Human hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β (HNF1B) 1968A/G polymorphism [PDF]
We found a novel A-->G change at nucleotide 1968 within the 3'-untranslated region of the HNF1B gene encoding the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 beta. The HNF1B 1968A/G polymorphism could be detected by digestion with endonuclease MspI. The frequency of the HNF1B 1968G allele was 0.060 in Caucasians and 0.129 in Canadian Oji-Cree.

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β controls nephron tubular development [PDF]
Nephron morphogenesis is a complex process that generates blood-filtration units (glomeruli) connected to extremely long and patterned tubular structures. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β (HNF1β) is a divergent homeobox transcription factor that is expressed in kidney from the first steps of nephrogenesis.

Abnormal nephron development associated with a frameshift mutation in the transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β1 [PDF]
The transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1 beta functions as a homodimer or as a heterodimer with the structurally related protein HNF-1 alpha. Both are expressed sequentially in rat kidney development, with HNF-1 beta being detected from the earliest inductory phases.

Microenvironment and tumor cells: two targets for new molecular therapies of hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is one of the most frequent human cancer and is characterized by a high mortality rate. The aggressiveness appears strictly related to the liver pathological background on which cancer develops.
