Targeted disruption of the onecut transcription factor, hnf-6, alters mammalian biliary system development. We have identified a related zebrafish cDNA expressed in the developing liver that is a functional ortholog of mammalian hnf-6. Antisense-mediated knockdown of zebrafish hnf-6 perturbs development of the intrahepatic biliary system. Knockdown of zebrafish hnf-6 alters expression of vhnf1 and the zebrafish orthologs of other mammalian genes regulated by hnf-6. Coinjection of mRNA encoding zebrafish vhnf1 rescues the biliary phenotype of hnf-6 morphants. These experiments strongly suggest that hnf-6 and vhnf1 function within an evolutionarily conserved pathway that regulates biliary development. Forced expression of either hnf-6 or vhnf1 also produces biliary phenotypes. Altered bile duct development in both loss- and gain-of-function experiments suggests that zebrafish biliary cells are sensitive to the dosage of hnf-6-mediated gene transcription.
