Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is required for postnatal thymic regeneration.
Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family that mediates epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation in a variety of tissues, including the thymus. We studied the role of KGF in T-cell development with KGF-/- mice and demonstrated that thymic cellularity and the distribution of thymocyte subsets among KGF-/-, wildtype (WT), and KGF+/- mice were sim...
متن کاملThe hSkn-1a POU transcription factor enhances epidermal stratification by promoting keratinocyte proliferation.
Skn-1a is a POU transcription factor that is primarily expressed in the epidermis and is known to modulate the expression of several genes associated with keratinocyte differentiation. However, the formation of a stratified epidermis requires a carefully controlled balance between keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation, and a role for Skn-1a in this process has not been previously demon...
متن کاملEctodomain Shedding of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Ligands Is Required for Keratinocyte Migration in Cutaneous Wound Healing
Keratinocyte proliferation and migration are essential to cutaneous wound healing and are, in part, mediated in an autocrine fashion by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-ligand interactions. EGFR ligands are initially synthesized as membrane-anchored forms, but can be processed and shed as soluble forms. We provide evidence here that wound stimuli induce keratinocyte shedding of EGFR liga...
متن کاملEarly growth response-1 is required for CD154 transcription.
CD154 (CD40 ligand) expression on CD4 T cells is normally tightly controlled, but abnormal or dysregulated expression of CD154 has been well documented in autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus. Beyond regulation by NFAT proteins, little is known about the transcriptional activation of the CD154 promoter. We identified a species-conserved purine-rich sequence located adjacent...
متن کاملEpidermal growth factor-mediated activation of the ETS domain transcription factor Elk-1 requires nuclear calcium.
Cytosolic and nuclear Ca(2+) have been shown to differentially regulate transcription. However, the impact of spatially distinct Ca(2+) signals on mitogen-activated protein kinase-mediated gene expression remains unknown. Here we investigated the role of nuclear and cytosolic Ca(2+) signals in epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced transactivation of the ternary complex factor Elk-1 using a GAL4...
