Abstract excerpt
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β (HNF-1β) is a tissue-specific transcription factor that is essential for normal kidney development and renal tubular function. Mutations of HNF-1β produce cystic kidney disease, a phenotype associated with deregulation of canonical (β-catenin-dependent) Wnt signaling. Here, we show that ablation of HNF-1β in mIMCD3 renal epithelial cells produces hyperresponsiveness to Wnt ligands and...
