KLF 5 ( Kruppel - like factor 5 ( intestinal ) )
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 may play an important role in several tumor types including breast, prostate, bladder, colon, esophagus, and skin.

Kruppel - 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 کاملRegulation of the human biotin transporter hSMVT promoter by KLF-4 and AP-2: confirmation of promoter activity in vivo.
The mechanism of biotin uptake in human intestine has been well characterized and involves the human sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (hSMVT), yet little is known about the molecular/transcriptional regulation of the system. Previous investigations cloned the 5' regulatory region of the hSMVT gene and identified the minimal promoter. To expand these investigations, we compared activity...
متن کاملSimvastatin has an anti-inflammatory effect on macrophages via upregulation of an atheroprotective transcription factor, Kruppel-like factor 2.
AIMS Statins have beneficial vascular effects beyond their cholesterol-lowering action. Since macrophages play a central role in atherogenesis, we characterized the effects of simvastatin on gene expression profile of human peripheral blood monocyte (HPBM)-macrophages. METHODS AND RESULTS Gene expression profile was studied using Affymetrix gene chip analysis. Lentiviral gene transfer of Krup...
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 کاملKlf 4 and stem cell 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. In embryonic stem (ES) cells, Klf4 can be a good indicator of stem-like capacity. Klf4 is a 55 kD transcription factor containing three zinc finger domains. Klf4 binds the CACCC core sequence at multiple sites in the 5’ flank...
