Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Mutations in the genes encoding hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF) cause impaired insulin secretion and diabetes mellitus. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. In the present work, we found that Crp is a direct target gene of HNF1 and high sensitive could be a biomarker for HNF1 diabetes. In addition, we found that Tmed6 is a target gene of HNF1. Furthermore, we identified that Anks4b, a direct target of HNF4, regulates insulin secretion by beta-cells.
