Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1 Inactivation Results in Hepatic Dysfunction, Phenylketonuria, and Renal Fanconi Syndrome

Abstract: HNF1 is a transcriptional activator of many hepatic genes including albumin, alpha1-antitrypsin, and alpha- and beta-fibrinogen. It is related to the homeobox gene family and is predominantly expressed in liver and kidney. Mice lacking HNF1 fail to thrive and die around weaning after a progressive wasting syndrome with a marked liver enlargement. The transcription rate of genes like albumin and alpha1-antitrypsin is reduced, while the gene coding for phenylalanine hydroxylase is totally silent, giving rise to … Show more

“…HNF-1α staining was also detected in the stomach and intestine, but was not detected in the brain and heart. This restricted pattern of HNF-1α staining was compatible with the reported tissue distribution of HNF-1α mRNA [3,4,5,30,31] and β-galactosidase expression of HNF-1α (+/-) mice [6]. Furthermore, HNF-1α immunoreactivity was absent from the nuclei of hepatocytes in HNF-1α (-/-) mice (Fig.…”

“…Although HNF-1α was initially identified as a hepatocyte-specific transcription factor, it is known also to be expressed in the pancreas [3,4,5,6]. We have found that heterozygous mutations of the HNF-1α gene cause a form of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY3) [7] and clinical studies have shown that MODY3 is characterized by impaired insulin secretion [8,9], suggesting an important role of HNF-1α in pancreatic beta cells.…”

“…27,54 Fxr and Hnf1a are implicated broadly in cholestatic liver injury. [55][56][57][58] Reports that Sp1 plays a role in liver injury are more anecdotal. [59][60][61] To confirm the role of these four factors, we performed ChIP-seq on liver samples 1 and 14 days after ligation.…”

“…HNF-la knockout mice exhibited hepatic dysfunction, phenylketonuria, and Fanconi's syndrome including renal glycosuria, but did not exhibit hyperglycemia (23). Renal glycosuria was also reported in two of the original MODY families described by Tattersall (1) and was a common feature among Finnish MODY3 families examined (M.L.…”

“…Transcriptional activation of glycolytic genes in hepatocytes is dependent on the action of glucose and insulin (28), so HNF-la might also directly influence liver glucose metabolism. As evidenced by gene knockout studies, HNF-la deficiency disrupts normal hepatic and renal function (23). HNF-la might similarly alter the function of pancreatic (3-cells resulting in impaired insulin secretion.…”
