Abstract

Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4 (HNF4) is a transcription factor (TF) belonging to the nuclear receptor family whose expression and activities are restricted to a limited number of organs including the liver and gastrointestinal tract. In this review, we present robust evidence pointing to HNF4 as a master regulator of cellular differentiation during development and a safekeeper of acquired cell identity in adult organs. Importantly, we discuss that transient loss of HNF4 may represent a protective mechanism upon acute organ injury, while prolonged impairment of HNF4 activities could contribute to organ dysfunction. In this context, we describe in detail mechanisms involved in the pathophysiological control of cell identity by HNF4, including how HNF4 works as part of cell-specific TF networks and how its expression/activities are disrupted in injured organs.

  • HNF4A controls genes that are crucial for liver functions, primarily through binding to enhancers.

    “Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4A (HNF4A/NR2a1), a transcriptional regulator of hepatocyte identity, controls genes that are crucial for liver functions, primarily through binding to enhancers.”

    From HNF4A guides the MLL4 complex to establish and maintain H3K4me1 at gene regulatory elements (2024) · cites this paper as [2]

    Section 3.2 says HNF4 controls genes involved in liver-specific functions through binding to regulatory regions. It also says HNF4A binds substantially to promoters—including those of almost half the actively transcribed genes in adult liver—so the claim that it acts primarily through enhancers is not supported by this passage. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • THRB activation increased the ratio of HNF4A adult promoter P1- to embryonic promoter P2-derived isoforms.

    “In addition, THRB activation also increased the ratio of HNF4A adult promoter P1‐ to embryonic promoter P2‐derived isoforms (Fig 4H), a phenomenon known to promote hepatocyte differentiation and function (Dubois et al, 2020b).”

    From An extended transcription factor regulatory network controls hepatocyte identity (2023) · cites this paper as Dubois et al, 2020b

    Section 2.1 reports a switch from P2- to P1-derived HNF4A isoforms during hepatocyte differentiation, supporting the association invoked by the citation. It does not establish that increasing the P1:P2 ratio itself promotes hepatocyte differentiation and function. The THRB-activation result is attributed to the citing paper’s Fig. 4H, not to Dubois et al. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
