The recently discovered apolipoprotein AV (apoAV) gene has been reported to be a key player in modulating plasma triglyceride levels. Here we identify the hepatocyte nuclear factor-4alpha (HNF-4alpha) as a novel regulator of human apoAV gene. Inhibition of HNF-4alpha expression by small interfering RNA resulted in down-regulation of apoAV. Deletion, mutagenesis, and binding assays revealed that HNF-4alpha directly regulates human apoAV promoter through DR1 [a direct repeat separated by one nucleotide (nt)], and via a novel element for HNF-4alpha consisting of an inverted repeat separated by 8 nt (IR8). In addition, we show that the coactivator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1alpha was capable of stimulating the HNF-4alpha-dependent transactivation of apoAV promoter. Furthermore, analyses in human hepatic cells demonstrated that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and the MAPK signaling pathway regulate human apoAV expression and suggested that this regulation may be mediated, at least in part, by changes in HNF-4alpha. Intriguingly, EMSAs and mice with a liver-specific disruption of the HNF-4alpha gene revealed a species-distinct regulation of apoAV by HNF-4alpha, which resembles that of a subset of HNF-4alpha target genes. Taken together, our data provide new insights into the binding properties and the modulation of HNF-4alpha and underscore the role of HNF-4alpha in regulating triglyceride metabolism.
