Control of Apolipoprotein AI Gene Expression through Synergistic Interactions between Hepatocyte Nuclear Factors 3 and 4

Abstract: Apolipoprotein AI (apoAI) gene expression in liver depends on synergistic interactions between transcription factors bound to three distinct sites (A, B, and C) within a hepatocyte-specific enhancer in the 5-flanking region of the gene. In this study, we showed that a segment spanning sites A and B retains substantial levels of enhancer activity in hepatoblastoma HepG2 cells and that sites A and B are occupied by the liver-enriched hepatocyte nuclear factors (HNFs) 4 and 3, respectively, in these cells. In non… Show more

“…In essence, we detect only those genes whose induction minimally requires the ectopic expression of PGC-1␣ and HNF4␣. Although apolipoproteins A-I, A-IV, C-II, and C-III have been previously identified as HNF4␣ targets (31,(35)(36)(37), they are induced robustly only with co-expressed PGC-1␣. These data suggest that HNF4␣ requires PGC-1␣ to realize its full transcriptional potential.…”

“…The rodent HNF-3␣, -3␤, and -3␥ proteins were originally identified as factors mediating liver-specific transcription of the transthyretin (TTR) (10,27,28) gene, encoding a serum carrier protein of thyroxine and vitamin A, and were later shown to regulate the expression of other genes critical for liver function. Subsets of these hepatocyte genes include the serum carrier proteins albumin, ␣-fetoprotein, and apolipoprotein AI (21,34,39); the cholesterol 7␣-hydroxylase (Cyp7A) enzyme involved in bile acid synthesis (9,40,71); and the glucose metabolism enzymes 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (PFK-2) and glucose 6-phosphatase (G6P) (31,33,54). HNF-3 proteins also recognize the insulin response elements of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 (IGFBP-1) genes (66,72) and participate in growth hormone activation of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) (43).…”
