Tissue-specific expression of the gene encoding hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 may involve hepatocyte nuclear factor 4. [PDF]
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 (HNF-1) is a transcriptional regulatory protein possibly involved in the activation of many liver-specifically expressed genes. HNF-1 mRNA is restricted to a small number of tissues, suggesting that the HNF-1 gene itself is regulated at the transcriptional level. We have isolated and characterized the promoter region of this

Long Noncoding RNAs Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4A Antisense RNA 1 and Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1A Antisense RNA 1 Are Involved in Ritonavir-Induced Cytotoxicity in Hepatoma Cells [PDF]
Ritonavir (RTV), a pharmacoenhancer used in anti-HIV regimens, can induce liver damage. RTV is primarily metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) in the liver. HNF4A antisense RNA 1 (HNF4A-AS1) and HNF1A antisense RNA 1 (HNF1A-AS1) are long noncoding RNAs that regulate the expression of pregnane X receptor (PXR) and CYP3A4.

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.

Mutations in transcription factor as rare causes of diabetes in pregnancy
MODY1 and MODY3 represent rare causes of diabetes in pregnancy. Establishing a molecular diagnosis of MODY1 or MODY3 during pregnancy may be important for minimizing risk of perinatal complications and for improving glycemic control after pregnancy.

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.
