摘 要:Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4-alpha(HNF4α)is a highly conserved member of nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors that is expressed in liver and gastrointestinal organs(pancreas,stomach,and intestine).In liver,HNF4αis best known for its role as a master regulator of liver-specific gene expression and essential for adult and fetal liver *** of HNF4αexpression has been associated with many human diseases such as ulcerative colitis,colon cancer,maturity-onset diabetes of the young,liver cirrhosis,and hepatocellular ***,the precise role of HNF4αin the etiology of these human pathogenesis is not well *** information is known about the role of HNF4αisoforms in liver and gastrointestinal disease *** is,therefore,a critical need to know how disruption of the expression of these isoforms may impact on disease progression and *** this review,we will update our current understanding on the role of HNF4αin human liver and gastrointestinal *** further provide additional information on possible use of HNF4αas a target for potential therapeutic approaches.
