- W2012053529 abstract "Background & Aims: The hepatocyte nuclear factor 6 (HNF6 or ONECUT-1) protein is a cell-type specific transcription factor that regulates expression of hepatocyte-specific genes. Using hepatocytes for chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays, the HNF6 protein was shown to associate with cell cycle regulatory promoters. Here, we examined whether increased levels of HNF6 stimulate hepatocyte proliferation during mouse liver regeneration. Methods: Tail vein injection of adenovirus expressing the HNF6 complementary DNA was used to increase hepatic HNF6 levels during mouse liver regeneration induced by partial hepatectomy, and DNA replication was determined by bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. Cotransfection and ChIP assays were used to determine transcriptional target promoters. Results: Elevated expression of HNF6 during mouse liver regeneration causes a significant increase in the number of hepatocytes entering DNA replication (S phase), and mouse hepatoma Hepa1-6 cells diminished for HNF6 levels by small interfering RNA transfection exhibit a 50% reduction in S phase following serum stimulation. This stimulation in hepatocyte S-phase progression was associated with increased expression of the hepatocyte mitogen tumor growth factor α and the cell cycle regulators cyclin D1 and Forkhead box m1 (Foxm1) transcription factor. Cotransfection and ChIP assays show that tumor growth factor α, cyclin D1, and HNF6 promoter regions are direct transcriptional targets of the HNF6 protein. Coimmunoprecipitation assays with regenerating mouse liver extracts reveal an association between HNF6 and FoxM1 proteins, and cotransfection assays show that HNF6 stimulates Foxm1 transcriptional activity. Conclusions: These mouse liver regeneration studies show that increased HNF6 levels stimulate hepatocyte proliferation through transcriptional induction of cell cycle regulatory genes.

Increased hepatic levels of HNF6 significantly stimulated the number of regenerating mouse hepatocytes entering S phase following partial hepatectomy. HNF6-mediated stimulation in hepatocyte S-phase progression was associated with increased expression of the hepatocyte mitogen TGF-α and cell cycle regulators cyclin D1, Cdk2, and the Foxm1 transcription factor. Cotransfection and ChIP assays showed that TGF-α, cyclin D1, and HNF6 promoters are direct transcriptional targets of HNF6 and that combining HNF6 and FoxM1b further stimulated transcription of the TGF-α promoter. We also show that HNF6 associates with FoxM1 protein to stimulate Foxm1 transcriptional activity in cotransfection assays. Furthermore, cotransfection and ChIP assays show that both Foxm1 and HNF6 proteins activate transcription of the endogenous HNF6 promoter region. These liver regeneration studies show for the first time that the liver-enriched HNF6 transcription factor is capable of stimulating proliferation of regenerating hepatocytes through transcriptional activation of cell cycle regulatory genes.
