TGFβ impairs HNF1α functional activity in Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition interfering with the recruitment of CBP/p300 acetyltransferases [PDF]
, 2019 The cytokine transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) plays a crucial role in the induction of both epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) program and fibro-cirrhotic process in the liver, where it contributes also to organ inflammation following several ...

Convergence of Wnt signalling on the HNF4a-driven transcription in controlling liver zonation [PDF]
, 2009 BACKGROUND & AIMS: In each hepatocyte, the specific repertoire of gene expression is influenced by its exact location along the portocentrovenular axis of the hepatic lobule and provides a reason for the liver functions compartmentalization defined ...

Delineating the role of Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1 Beta (HNF1B) transcript variants in prostate cancer [PDF]
, 2020 Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) has identified HNF1B located at chromosome 17q12 as foremost risk gene for prostate cancer susceptibility in multi-ethnic populations. This thesis characterises the HNF1B transcript variants along with defining their expression pattern and functional attributes in prostate cancer.

Galectin-1 is essential for efficient liver regeneration following hepatectomy [PDF]
, 2016 Galectin-1 (Gal1) is a known immune/inflammatory regulator which actsboth extracellularly and intracellularly, modulating innate and adaptive immuneresponses. Here, we explored the role of Gal1 in liver regeneration using 70% partial hepatectomy (PHx) of

Critical Role of microRNA-21 in the Pathogenesis of Liver Diseases [PDF]
, 2020 MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that range in length from 18 to 24 nucleotides. As one of the most extensively studied microRNAs, microRNA-21 (miR-21) is highly expressed in many mammalian cell types.

Microbiota and bile acid profiles in retinoic acid-primed mice that exhibit accelerated liver regeneration. [PDF]
, 2015 Background & aimsAll-trans Retinoic acid (RA) regulates hepatic lipid and bile acid homeostasis. Similar to bile acid (BA), RA accelerates partial hepatectomy (PHx)-induced liver regeneration.

Searching for "monogenic diabetes" in dogs using a candidate gene approach [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Canine diabetes is a common endocrine disorder with an estimated breed-related prevalence ranging from 0.005% to 1.5% in pet dogs. Increased prevalence in some breeds suggests that diabetes in dogs is influenced by genetic factors and ...

Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 beta protects endometriotic cells against apoptotic cell death by up-regulating the expression of antiapoptotic genes† [PDF]
Biology of Reproduction, 2019 AbstractThe overexpression of hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 beta (HNF1β) in endometriotic lesion has been demonstrated. However, the role of HNF1β in endometriosis remains largely unknown. Human endometriotic 12Z cells showed higher level of HNF1β when compared with normal endometrial HES cells. In human endometriotic 12Z cells, HNF1β knockdown increased
