Flow Cytometry (Intracellular) - Anti-HNF-4-alpha antibody [EPR3648] (AB92378)
Overlay histogram showing HepG2 cells stained with unpurifiedab92378 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (unpurified ab92378, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab96899) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (1μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a positive signal in HepG2 cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

Western blot - Anti-HNF-4-alpha antibody [EPR3648] (AB92378)
Western blot : Anti-HNF4A antibody [EPR3648] (ab92378) staining at 1/2000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab92378 was shown to bind specifically to HNF4A. A band was observed at 50-55 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in HNF4A knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and HNF4A knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

SRC-3 inhibits HNF4α-induced HBV core-promoter activity. a Ectopic expression of SRC-3 or CA-Akt inhibited HNF4α-induced HBV core-promoter activity in HepG2 cells. b Transfection of CA-Akt into SRC-3-knockdown cells inhibited HBV core promoter activity. c Transfection of CA-Akt into SRC-3-knockdown cells prevented the nuclear translocation of HNF4α. Control constructs were transfected into control cell or SRC-3-knockdown cells and CA-Akt were transfected into SRC-3-knockdown cells for 48 h, then cell fractionation was carried out and fractions were analyzed by western blot. All experiments were repeated at least 3 times independently. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01

Biological function summary
HNF-4-alpha influences the expression of genes involved in liver and pancreatic function. It acts as a transcriptional regulator that controls fatty acid oxidation gluconeogenesis and insulin secretion. HNF-4-alpha interacts with other proteins to form transcriptional complexes that fine-tune the expression of metabolic enzymes and transport proteins. This protein is key to ensuring that metabolic genes are expressed in a coordinated manner which is essential for maintaining normal metabolic processes.
Pathways
HNF-4-alpha participates in the insulin signaling and lipid metabolism pathways. Through these pathways it interacts with other transcription factors such as HNF-1-alpha and PPAR-alpha which coordinate the regulation of genes involved in glucose metabolism and fatty acid oxidation. HNF-4-alpha plays a critical role by modulating the expression of enzymes like gluconeogenic enzymes in response to metabolic needs which connects it to key metabolic pathways influencing overall energy homeostasis.
