Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4 enhances the Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1 -mediated activation of transcription [PDF]
Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1alpha (HNF1alpha) and Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4alpha (HNF4alpha) are two liver-enriched transcription factors coexpressed in specific tissues where they play a crucial role through their involvement in a complex cross-regulatory network.

Transcriptional regulation of the human hepatic lipase (LIPC) gene promoter
Hepatic lipase (HL) plays a key role in the metabolism of plasma lipoproteins, and its level of activity requires tight regulation, given the association of both low and high levels with atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease.

Rescue of MODY-1 by Agonist Ligands of Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor-4α [PDF]
Missense mutations of the ligand binding domain of hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-4alpha result in maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY)-1. We show here that MODY-1 as well as Gln-185 missense mutants of the ligand binding domain of HNF-4alpha fail to transactivate transcription of HNF-4alpha-responsive genes.

SRC-1 and GRIP1 Coactivate Transcription with Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4 [PDF]
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 (HNF4), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, plays an important role in tissue-specific gene expression, including genes involved in hepatic glucose metabolism. In this study, we show that SRC-1 and GRIP1, which act as coactivators for various nuclear receptors, associate with HNF4 in vivo and enhance its ...

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.

Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1, a Transcription Factor at the Crossroads of Glucose Homeostasis [PDF]
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 (HNF1) is a transcription factor involved in the regulation of a large set of hepatic genes, including albumin, beta-fibrinogen, and alpha1-antitrypsin. HNF1 is expressed in the liver, digestive tract, pancreas, and kidney. Mice lacking HNF1 exhibit hepatic, pancreatic, and renal dysfunctions.

Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 prevents silencing of hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 expression in hepatoma x fibroblast cell hybrids [PDF]
Hepatocyte nuclear factors-1alpha (HNF1alpha) and -4 (HNF4) are components of a liver-enriched transcription activation pathway which is thought to play a critical role in hepatocyte-specific gene expression, including activation of alpha1-antitrypsin gene expression.

Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor-1α Gene Mutations and Diabetes in Norway [PDF]
Mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1 alpha gene cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), type 3. To estimate the prevalence of MODY3 in Norwegian diabetic pedigrees, we screened a total of 130 families for HNF-1 alpha mutations; 42 families with clinical MODY, 75 with suspected MODY, and 13 pedigrees with multiplex type 1 ...

Evaluation of relationship between HNF-1α and GLP-1R polymorphisms and type 2 diabetes in a population living in northeast of Iran [PDF]
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is rising dramatically in the Middle East, especially in the Islamic Republic of Iran, but the genetic basis of type 2 diabetes in Iran is poorly understood. Polymorphisms of hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α (
