Abstract

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4A) is a transcriptional factor which plays an important role in the development of the liver, kidney, and intestines. Nevertheless, its role in cervical Cancer and the underlying mechanism remain unknown. In this study, both immunohistochemistry and western blotting revealed that the expression of HNF4A was downregulated in cervical Cancer. Xenograft assays suggested that HN4A could inhibit tumorigenic potential of cervical Cancer in vivo. Functional studies illustrated that HNF4A also inhibited the proliferation and viability of cervical Cancer cells in vitro. In addition, FACS analysis implied that HNF4A could induce cell cycle arrest from the G0/G1 phase to S phase. Further studies suggested that HNF4A downregulated the activity of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Altogether, our data demonstrated that HNF4A inhibited tumor formation and proliferation of cervical Cancer cells through suppressing the activity of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
