background:  the development of allergic rhinitis (ar) is caused by the interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental factors. in this study, the association between gata3 single nucleotide polymorphisms and ar in an iranian population was identified. methods:  this case-control study was performed on 86 patients with ar and 86 healthy subjects. this study aimed to evaluate a pot...

OBJECTIVE Recent studies have investigated the significance of GATA3 expression in patients with various malignant tumors. However, no previous studies have evaluated the clinicopathological importance of GATA3 expression in soft tissue sarcomas (STS) patients. METHODS We evaluated GATA3 expression in 76 STS cases using immunohistochemical analysis, and statistically compared clinicopathologi...

GATA3, a member of the GATA zinc finger transcription factor family, has been widely investigated for its role in cancer. Although a recent report has found that GATA3 is downregulated in gastric cancer (GC), the detailed mechanism of GATA3 in GC is still unknown. Here, we investigated whether GATA3 was downregulated in GC patients' tissue samples and cell lines using quantitative real time pol...

GATA3 polymorphisms were reported to be significantly associated with susceptibility of pediatric B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), by impacting on GATA3 expression. We noticed that ALL-related GATA3 polymorphism located around in the tissue-specific enhancer, and significantly associated with GATA3 expression. Although the regulatory network of GATA3 has been well reported in T cel...

The transcription factor GATA3 plays an essential role during T cell development and T helper 2 (Th2) cell differentiation. To understand GATA3-mediated gene regulation, we identified genome-wide GATA3 binding sites in ten well-defined developmental and effector T lymphocyte lineages. In the thymus, GATA3 directly regulated many critical factors, including Th-POK, Notch1, and T cell receptor su...

GATA3, a lineage specifier, controls lymphoid cell differentiation and its function in T cell commitment and development has been extensively studied. GATA3 promotes T cell specification by repressing B cell potential in pro T cells and decreased GATA3 expression is essential for early B cell commitment. Inherited genetic variation in GATA3 has been associated with lymphoma susceptibility. Howe...

BACKGROUND Previous data showed that the predominance of intraglomerular T-bet or GATA3 is correlated with different mechanisms of rejection, suggesting that the ratio of T-bet/GATA3 might be used to distinguish antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) and T-cell-mediated rejection (TCMR). METHODS We compared the intraglomerular T-bet/GATA3 ratio in ABMR and TCMR. The intragraft expression of T-bet...

AIMS GATA3 is a zinc-finger transcription factor that is important for trophoblast differentiation. GATA3 is sensitive for urothelial and breast carcinomas, but the specificity is low. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of GATA3 in trophoblast-related tissues and neoplasia. METHODS AND RESULTS GATA3 immunohistochemistry was performed on 33 placentas, one atypical placenta...

Hair cells of the developing mammalian inner ear are progressively defined through cell fate restriction. This process culminates in the expression of the bHLH transcription factor Atoh1, which is necessary for differentiation of hair cells, but not for their specification. Loss of several genes will disrupt ear morphogenesis or arrest of neurosensory epithelia development. We previously showed...
