متن کامل
The human organic anion transporter genes OAT5 and OAT7 are transactivated by hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α (HNF-1α).
Organic anion transporters (OATs) are anion exchangers that transport small hydrophilic anions and diuretics, antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antiviral nucleoside analogs, and antitumor drugs across membrane barriers of epithelia of diverse organs. Three OATs are present in human liver: OAT2, OAT5, and OAT7. Given that hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α (HNF-1α) has previously been...
متن کاملRegulation of α1-antitrypsin gene expression in human intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2 by HNF-1α and HNF-4.
There is still relatively limited information about mechanisms of gene expression in enterocytes and mechanisms by which gene expression is regulated during enterocyte differentiation. Using the human intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2, which spontaneously differentiates from a cryptlike to a villouslike enterocyte, we have previously shown that there is a marked increase in transcription o...
متن کاملMammalian hepatocyte differentiation requires the transcription factor HNF-4alpha.
HNF-4alpha is a transcription factor of the nuclear hormone receptor family that is expressed in the hepatic diverticulum at the onset of liver development. Mouse embryos lacking HNF-4alpha fail to complete gastrulation due to dysfunction of the visceral endoderm. This early embryonic lethality has so far prevented any analyses of the contribution of HNF-4alpha toward liver development and hepa...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of the human factor XI gene promoter: transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor 4alpha (HNF-4alpha ) is required for hepatocyte-specific expression of factor XI.
Factor XI is the zymogen of a plasma protease produced primarily in liver that is required for normal blood coagulation. We cloned approximately 2600 base pairs of the human factor XI gene upstream of exon one, identified transcription start sites, and conducted a functional analysis. Luciferase reporter assays demonstrate that the 381 base pairs upstream of exon one are sufficient for maximum ...
