Figure 2. HNF4α regulates the promoter of the RARβ gene in HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells in 24-well plates were co-transfected for 24 h with a fragment of the human RARβ promoter expanding from −1.7 kbp from transcription start site to +0.217 kpb, as the full length promoter construct, in <t>pGL3-</t> basic-luc vector together with pRLTK plasmid containing Renilla-luc, as the control, and with either human HNF4α, RARα/RXRα, or all three transcription factors, and then treated further either without (A) or with RA for 1 to 24 h, after which the cells were collected to assay for luciferase activity. HNF4α alone or with RARα/RXRα suppressed the promoter activity of the human RARβ gene in the cells treated without RA (A), but upregulated the promoter when the cells were treated with RA following transfection (B). HNF4α regulates the promoter of the mouse RARβ gene in HepG2 cells (C). It suppresses the promoter activity of the mouse gene (empty bars in C) in HepG2 cells treated with the vehicle, but it increases the promoter activity in the cells treated with RA (black bar in C).

Figure 6. Mutation of the critical residues present in the ligand binding domain of human HNF4α suppresses transcription activation of the promoters of human APOC3 and CYP2C9 genes. HepG2 cells were co-transfected with either the pGL3-b-hApoC3 (A–C) or pGL3-b-hCYP2C9 (D–F) promoter construct together with either hHNF4α, RARα/RXRα, or all three transcription factors, and then treated with either vehicle or 1 µM RA for 24 h, after which the cells were assayed for their luciferase activity. The effects of the individual mutant residues in the ligand binding domain of the human HNF4α compared with WT HNF4α on the promoter activity of APOC3 (B) or CYP2C9 (E) in HepG2 cells treated with either vehicle or 1 µM RA for 24 h. The endogenous HNF4α transcriptional activity toward APOC3 (C) and CYP2C9 (F) promoters was assessed in HepG2 cells with or without the addition of human HNF4α mutants. Data from each bar represent the mean of n = 3 wells ± SD. HNF4α mutant #’s are as follows: (1) S190K, (2) 191MK, (3) R221G, (4) L228K, (5) L229K, (6) R235G, (7) I347K, and (8) I355K.

The relative fluorescence activity was measured. (L) The relative expression of SP1 and HNRNPAB mRNAs in MCF-7 cells bearing control or SP1 shRNAs analyzed by qRT-PCR. (M) Immunoblot assessment of SP1 and HNRNPAB expression in MCF-7 cells with or without SP1 shRNAs in the presence or absence of 10 nM E 2 for 48 h. Data was shown as mean ± S.D. from three independent experiments. Unpaired two-tailed Student's t test (C, H, K) and one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's multiple comparisons test (F, L). ns, P >0.05; ***, P <0.001; ****, P <0.0001.

Article Snippet: For transcription factor mediated HNRNPAB expression, 0.2 μg pGL3 Basic luciferase reporter (RRID: Addgene_48743), 50 nmol JUN or FOS or FOXA1 or SP1 siRNAs and 0.02 μg pRL-TK plasmid (RRID: Addgene_11313) were transfected into cells using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, USA).
