The human liver fatty acid binding protein (FABP1) gene is activated by FOXA1 and PPARα; and repressed by C/EBPα: Implications in FABP1 down-regulation in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

TLDR
It is concluded that human FABP1 has a complex mechanism of regulation where C/EBPα displaces HNF4α and hampers activation by FOXA1 and PPARα.

Molecular mechanisms of hepatic apoptosis.

TL;DR: Therapeutic options of liver injury are impacted by the clear understanding toward mechanisms of hepatic apoptosis, and the progression of liver disease is affected by the balance between apoptotic and antiapoptotic capabilities.

Fatty acid binding proteins: tissue-specific functions in health and disease.

TL;DR: Increasing evidence supports the role of FABPs as important controllers of global metabolism, with their dysregulation being linked to a host of metabolic diseases.

Recent insights into the biological functions of liver fatty acid binding protein 1

TL;DR: The role of FABp1 in substrate availability and in protection from oxidative stress suggests that FABP1 plays a pivotal role during intracellular bacterial/viral infections by reducing inflammation and the adverse effects of starvation (energy deficiency).

MatInspector and beyond: promoter analysis based on transcription factor binding sites

TL;DR: A new version of the program MatInspector is presented that identifies TFBS in nucleotide sequences using a large library of weight matrices using a matrix family concept, optimized thresholds, and comparative analysis and produces concise results avoiding redundant and false-positive matches.

The natural history of nonalcoholic fatty liver: A follow-up study

TL;DR: In the absence of preexisting fibrosis or steatohepatitis, fatty liver of nonalcohol‐induced origin is an extremely benign condition.

Hepatic lipotoxicity and the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis: The central role of nontriglyceride fatty acid metabolites

TL;DR: The lipotoxic liver injury hypothesis for the pathogenesis of NASH suggests that the authors need to focus therapeutic efforts on reducing the burden of fatty acids going to the liver or being synthesized in the liver by improving insulin sensitivity at the level of adipose tissue to prevent inappropriate peripheral lipolysis.

Transcriptional Regulation of Metabolism

TL;DR: This review reviews data on the transcriptional regulation of the intermediary metabolism, i.e., glucose, amino acid, lipid, and cholesterol metabolism and discusses how transcription factors integrate signals from various pathways to ensure homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue-specific transcriptional regulation has diverged significantly between human and mouse.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the binding sites for highly conserved transcription factors vary extensively between human and mouse, and from 41% to 89% of their binding events seem to be species specific.
