Abstract
⺠HNF-4 plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance the liver phenotype. ⺠Specific miRNAs down-regulate HNF-4 expression by targeting 3â²-UTR of HNF-4 mRNA. ⺠The miRNA dependent regulation affects the transactivation of HNF-4 target genes. ⺠The regulatory mechanism of miRNAs may have important impacts on liver phenotype.
