Abstract
AbstractBrief refeeding times (~60 min) enhanced hepatic Angptl8 expression in fasted mice. We cloned the mouse Angptl8 promoter region to characterise this rapid refeeding-induced increase in hepatic Angptl8 expression. Deletion of the −309/−60 promoter region significantly attenuated basal promoter activity in hepatocytes. A computational motif search revealed a potential binding motif for hepatocyte nuclear factor 1α/1β (HNF-1α/β) at −84/−68 bp of the promoter. Mutation of the HNF-1 binding site significantly decreased the promoter activity in hepatocytes, and the promoter carrying the mutated HNF-1 site was not transactivated by co-transfection of HNF-1 in a non-hepatic cell line. Silencing Hnf-1 in hepatoma cells and mouse primary hepatocytes reduced Angptl8 protein levels. Electrophoretic mobility-shift assays confirmed direct binding of Hnf-1 to its Angptl8 promoter binding motif. Hnf-1α expression levels increased after short-term refeeding, paralleling the enhanced in vivo expression of the Angptl8 protein. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) confirmed the recruitment of endogenous Hnf-1 to the Angptl8 promoter region. Insulin-treated primary hepatocytes showed increased expression of Angptl8 protein, but knockdown of Hnf-1 completely abolished this enhancement. HNF-1 appears to play essential roles in the rapid refeeding-induced increases in Angptl8 expression. HNF-1α may therefore represent a primary medical target for ANGPTL8-related metabolic abnormalities. The study revealed the transcriptional regulation of the mouse hepatic Angptl8 gene by HNF-1.
