Kruppel-like factor 4 expression in normal and pathological human testes.
Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is a transcription factor involved in many cellular and developmental processes such as terminal differentiation of cells and carcinogenesis. Mice lacking KLF4 die post-natally due to skin barrier deficiencies and exhibit several additional cellular defects. The adult rodent testis expresses high levels of Klf4 mRNA. Using in situ hybridization, we previously locali...
متن کاملKLF 4 ( Kruppel - like factor 4 ( gut ) )
A full-length mouse cDNA clone encoding KLF4 was initially isolated from a NIH3T3 cDNA library by reduced stringency screening with a DNA probe containing the zinc finger region of an immediate early gene product, Zif268 or Egr1. A distinct feature of the KLF4 gene is the highly GC-rich nature of the sequence near its 5'-end. Thus, the G+C content of the 1000 nt 5'-flanking region is 67% and th...
متن کاملKruppel - like factor 4 ( KLF 4 ) and cancer literatures
Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is a member of the KLF family of transcription factors and regulates proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and somatic cell reprogramming. KLF4 is also a tumor suppressor in certain cancers. KLF4 can be an indicator of stem-like capacity in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), etc. The KLF4 gene is conserved in chimpanzee, Rhesus monkey...
متن کاملEndothelial Kruppel-like factor 4 protects against atherothrombosis in mice.
The endothelium regulates vascular homeostasis, and endothelial dysfunction is a proximate event in the pathogenesis of atherothrombosis. Stimulation of the endothelium with proinflammatory cytokines or exposure to hemodynamic-induced disturbed flow leads to a proadhesive and prothrombotic phenotype that promotes atherothrombosis. In contrast, exposure to arterial laminar flow induces a gene pr...
متن کاملKruppel-Like Factor 4 Regulates Granule Cell Pax6 Expression and Cell Proliferation in Early Cerebellar Development
Kruppel-like factor 4 (Klf4) is a transcription factor that regulates many important cellular processes in stem cell biology, cancer, and development. We used histological and molecular methods to study the expression of Klf4 in embryonic development of the normal and Klf4 knockout cerebellum. We find that Klf4 is expressed strongly in early granule cell progenitor development but tails-off con...
