“…Several lines of evidence support a role for the transcription factor ChREBP in this glucose-signaling pathway. First, ChREBP was purified using the PK ChoRE as an affinity reagent and is a member of the bHLH/LZ family that recognizes E box sites, such as those found in the ChoRE (20,21). Second, ChREBP is most abundantly expressed in liver; brown adipose and white adipose tissue, where lipogenesis is most active (20,21).…”

“…A candidate transcription factor was purified based on its ability to bind to the PK ChoRE (20). This factor, designated as carbohydrate response element-binding protein (ChREBP), is a member of the bHLH/LZ family (21). ChREBP is expressed at high levels in the liver and is also abundant in adipose, kidney, and small intestine (20 -23).…”

“…The carbohydrate responsive element binding protein (ChREBP) transcription factor, the rat ortholog of Williams-Beuren syndrome critical region gene 14 [hereafter named WBSCR14 following recommendation of the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (4)] is expressed under high-glucose diet and inhibited under high-fat diet in primary cultured hepatocytes. Its overexpression in these cells results in increased transcription of the LPK gene through direct binding of the carbohydrate response element (ChoRE) of the LPK promoter (5)(6)(7)(8)(9). The WBSCR14 gene encodes a member of the basic-helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLHZip) family of transcription factors (10), which dimerizes with the Max-like protein, Mlx, to bind E-box motifs in the promoter region of target genes (7,11).…”

“…Bien que la lipogenèse de novo participe à l'accumulation de triglycérides dans le foie des patients NAFLD, l'implication de ChREBP n'a pas été démontrée chez l'Homme. Il est cependant intéressant de noter que le gène codant ChREBP a été identifié comme appartenant à la région chromosomique délétée dans le syndrome de WilliamsBeuren, une maladie neurodéveloppementale (WBSCR14) [14,31] dont environ 75 % des patients présentent une altération de leur tolérance au glucose ou un diabète silencieux qui pourrait s'expliquer par l'absence de ChREBP [32].…”
