Krüppel-like factor 5 associates with melamine-cyanurate crystal-induced nephritis in rats.
BACKGROUND Melamine and cyanuric acid (M/CA), when orally administered together to rats, can induce crystal formation within renal tubules and cause acute kidney injury. METHODS To investigate the pathomechanism of crystal-induced nephritis, melamine and/or cyanuric acid were administered to 3-week-old (young) and 8-week-old (adult) rats, respectively. RESULTS Crystal formation, blood urea ...
متن کاملKLF 5 ( Kruppel - like factor 5 ( intestinal ) )
KLF5 is a transcription factor. Many KLF5 target genes, such as PDGFa, PPARg, NFkB, cyclinD1, KLF4, and TCR, have been identified in different cell models. KLF5 regulates cell proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and differentiation. KLF5 is an important transcription factor for cardiovascular remodeling and tumor angiogenesis. KLF5 is essential for mouse embryo development. Additionally, KLF5...
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 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 5 is required for perinatal lung morphogenesis and function.
The transition to air breathing after birth requires both anatomic and biochemical maturation of the lung. Lung morphogenesis is mediated by complex paracrine interactions between respiratory epithelial cells and mesenchymal cells that direct transcriptional programs guiding patterning and cytodifferentiation of the lung. In the present study, transgenic mice were generated in which the Kruppel...
