متن کاملHepatocyte nuclear factor 4α regulates expression of the mouse female-specific Cyp3a41 gene in the liver.
CYP3A41 is a female-specific cytochrome P450 in mouse liver. A putative hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α)-binding site was found at -99/-87 in the promoter of Cyp3a41 by reporter assays performed in the hepatocytes of female mice. Cotransfection of an HNF4α expression plasmid significantly increased transcription of the reporter gene. Although electrophoretic mobility shift assays with liver...
متن کاملHepatocyte-specific deletion of hepatocyte nuclear factor-4α in adult mice results in increased hepatocyte proliferation.
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4α (HNF4α) is known as the master regulator of hepatocyte differentiation. Recent studies indicate that HNF4α may inhibit hepatocyte proliferation via mechanisms that have yet to be identified. Using a HNF4α knockdown mouse model based on delivery of inducible Cre recombinase via an adeno-associated virus 8 viral vector, we investigated the role of HNF4α in the regulat...
متن کاملHepatocyte nuclear factor-4α mediates redox sensitivity of inducible nitric-oxide synthase gene transcription.
The underlying redox-sensitive mechanisms that regulate hepatocyte expression of inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) and its antioxidant functions are largely unknown. We have demonstrated previously that oxidative stress induced by benzenetriol-mediated superoxide production increases interleukin-1beta-induced iNOS protein synthesis, steady state iNOS mRNA expression, NO production, iNOS ge...
متن کاملHepatocyte nuclear factor 4α regulates the expression of intestinal epithelial Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 3.
Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3) plays a key role in coupled electroneutral NaCl absorption in the mammalian intestine. Reduced NHE3 expression or function has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diarrhea associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or enteric infections. Our previous studies revealed transcriptional regulation of NHE3 by various agents such as TNF-α, IFN-γ, and butyrat...
