Control of Pancreas and Liver Gene Expression by HNF Transcription Factors

Duncan T. Odom,1 Nora Zizlsperger,1,2 D. Benjamin Gordon,1 George W. Bell,1 Nicola J. Rinaldi,1,2 Heather L. Murray,1 Tom L. Volkert,1 Jörg Schreiber,1 P. Alexander Rolfe,3 David K. Gifford,3 Ernest Fraenkel,1 Graeme I. Bell,4 Richard A. Young1,2*

The transcriptional regulatory networks that specify and maintain human tissue diversity are largely uncharted. To gain insight into this circuitry, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation combined with promoter microarrays to identify systematically the genes occupied by the transcriptional regulators HNF1{alpha}, HNF4{alpha}, and HNF6, together with RNA polymerase II, in human liver and pancreatic islets. We identified tissue-specific regulatory circuits formed by HNF1{alpha}, HNF4{alpha}, and HNF6 with other transcription factors, revealing how these factors function as master regulators of hepatocyte and islet transcription. Our results suggest how misregulation of HNF4{alpha} can contribute to type 2 diabetes.
