Abstract

Hepatocyte nuclear receptor 4 α (HNF4α) is known to be a master transcription regulator of gene expression in multiple biological processes, particularly in liver development and liver function. To date, the function of HNF4α in human cancers has been widely investigated; however, the critical roles of HNF4α in tumorigenesis remain unclear. Numerous controversies exist, even in studies from different research groups but on the same type of cancer. In the present review, the critical roles of HNF4α in tumorigenesis will be summarized and discussed. Furthermore, HNF4α expression profile and alterations will be examined by pan‑cancer analysis through bioinformatics, in order to provide a better understanding of the functional roles of this gene in human cancers.
