Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4 alpha (HNF4 alpha; NR2A1) is a member of the orphan nuclear receptor family. HNF4 alpha is expressed in the liver, kidney, intestine and pancreas. Mutation of HNF4 alpha in humans has been associated with maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 1 (MODY1). HNF4 binds to DNA as an exclusive homodimer. The HNF4 alpha gene is alternatively spliced and may generate up to nine different isoforms, HNF4 alpha 1 through HNF4 alpha 9. The expression of HNF-4 gamma (NR2A2) is observed in the pancreas, kidney, small intestine, and testes with no expression detected in the liver. The level of HNF-4 gamma is less 10% than that of HNF-4 alpha.

Detection of HNF-4 alpha/NR2A1 by Flow Cytometry
DKK2 is required for Lgr5 positive stem cells-driven liver metastasis of colorectal cancer.(A) Isolated cells from AKP tumor organoids expressing the tdTomato reporter gene were dissociated and injected into the spleen of wild-type C57BL/6 mice. 8 weeks after the injection, metastatic tumor growth was measured by in vivo imaging analysis. (B) Representative pictures of in vivo imaging analysis. Ctrl: AKP control organoids transduced with scrambled guide RNA, KO: Dkk2 knockout AKP organoids. (C–D) Statistic analysis of liver metastasis (C) and survival (D). Ctrl (n=10), KO (n=15), n represents the number of mice. c.p.m. in (C): count per minute. (E) Quantitative gene expression analysis of Dkk2, Lgr5, and Hnf4 alpha 1 in liver metastasized colon cancer cells. Ctrl (n=11), KO (n=12), n represents the number of isolated cancer nodules with five mice per group. (F) Representative flow cytometry analysis data of c-Src phosphorylation (pSrc) and Lgr5 expression in metastasized colon cancer cells. (G) Statistic analysis of Lgr5 expression and pSrc in (E). The average of mean fluorescence intensity in control samples was set as 1 and relative fluorescence intensity was calculated. (H) Statistic analysis of the percentile of Lgr5 high (Lgr5 and pSrc double positive) cells in metastasized colon cancer in (F). Each symbol represents an individually isolated cancer nodule. n.s.=not significant, **p<0.01, ****p<0.0001; two-tailed Welch’s t-test (C, E, G, H). Error bars indicate mean ± s.d. Log-rank test (D). Results are representative of three independent experiments.
