Opposing effects of Krüppel-like factor 4 (gut-enriched Krüppel-like factor) and Krüppel-like factor 5 (intestinal-enriched Krüppel-like factor) on the promoter of the Krüppel-like factor 4 gene
KLF4 (Krüppel-like factor 4 or gut-enriched Krüppel-like factor, GKLF) and KLF5 (Krüppel-like factor 5 or intestinal-enriched Krüppel-like factor, IKLF) are two closely related members of the zinc finger-containing Krüppel-like factor family of transcription factors. Although both genes are expressed in the intestinal epithelium, their distributions are different: Klf4 is primarily expressed in...
متن کاملZebrafish Krüppel-Like Factor 4a Represses Intestinal Cell Proliferation and Promotes Differentiation of Intestinal Cell Lineages
BACKGROUND Mouse krüppel-like factor 4 (Klf4) is a zinc finger-containing transcription factor required for terminal differentiation of goblet cells in the colon. However, studies using either Klf4(-/-) mice or mice with conditionally deleted Klf4 in their gastric epithelia showed different results in the role of Klf4 in epithelial cell proliferation. We used zebrafish as a model organism to ga...
متن کاملKrüppel-like factor 5 promotes lung tumorigenesis through upregulation of Sox4.
BACKGROUND Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5), a member of zinc finger class of DNA-binding transcriptional regulators, has attracted attention because of its important regulatory activities linked to diverse functions such as cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and tumorigenesis in a number of systems. However, its biological functions in the initiation and progression of lung tum...
متن کاملKrüppel-like factor 4 regulates macrophage polarization.
Current paradigms suggest that two macrophage subsets, termed M1 and M2, are involved in inflammation and host defense. While the distinct functions of M1 and M2 macrophages have been intensively studied - the former are considered proinflammatory and the latter antiinflammatory - the determinants of their speciation are incompletely understood. Here we report our studies that identify Krüppel-...
متن کاملThe threshold level of adenomatous polyposis coli protein for mouse intestinal tumorigenesis.
The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, whose mutations are responsible for familial adenomatous polyposis, is a major negative controller of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. To investigate the dose-dependent effects of APC protein in suppressing intestinal tumorigenesis, we constructed mutant mice carrying hypomorphic Apc alleles Apc(neoR) and Apc(neoF) whose expression levels were reduced to ...
