1 16873704 We examined the association of variants in genes encoding several transcription factors (TCF1, TCF2, HNF4A, ISL1, IPF1, NEUROG3, PAX6, NKX2-2, NKX6-1, and NEUROD1) and genes encoding the ATP-sensitive K(+) channel subunits Kir6.2 (KCNJ11) and SUR1 (ABCC8) with type 2 diabetes in a Japanese cohort of 2,834 subjects.
2 19264802 Glis3 also may indirectly affect insulin promoter activity through upregulation of MafA and downregulation of Nkx6-1.
3 20106981 Site-directed mutagenesis of the NKX6.1 core-binding sequence eliminated NKX6.1-mediated activation and substantially decreased activity of the HNF1alpha promoter in beta cells.
4 17131142 The PDX1-transduced hepatocytes expressed several pancreatic transcription factors related to early pancreatic endocrine development (endogenous Pdx1, neurogenic differentiation factor 1 [Neurod1], and NK6 transcription factor related, locus 1 [Nkx6-1]) as well as the late-stage pancreatic transcription factors (paired box gene 4 [Pax4], paired box gene 6 [Pax6], and v-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog A [Mafa]).
