Transcriptional Activation of Placental Growth Factor by the Forkhead/Winged Helix Transcription Factor FoxD1 [PDF]

Current Biology, 2003
Stromal-epithelial interactions play an important role in renal organogenesis. Expression of the forkhead/winged helix transcription factor FoxD1 (BF-2) is restricted to stromal cells in the embryonic renal cortex, but it mediates its effects on the adjacent ureteric bud and metanephric mesenchyme, which fail to grow and differentiate in BF-2 null mice.

A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.

Advances in Research on the Mechanisms of FOXO in Renal Mitochondrial Autophagy

Xiehe Yixue Zazhi
Forkhead box O (FOXO) transcription factors serve as critical signaling hubs, initiating downstream autophagy-related gene expression in response to various growth factors and participating in mitochondrial autophagy, thereby influencing cellular damage ...

The yeast forkhead transcription factors fkh1 and fkh2 regulate lifespan and stress response together with the anaphase-promoting complex. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2012
Forkhead box O (FOXO) transcription factors have a conserved function in regulating metazoan lifespan. A key function in this process involves the regulation of the cell cycle and stress responses including free radical scavenging.

Genome‐Wide In Vivo RNAi Screening Identifies HOXD4 as a Tumor Metastasis Suppressor in Colorectal Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Metastasis remains a major challenge in colorectal cancer. Using an in vivo shRNA screening system, this study identifies Homeobox D4 as a key metastasis suppressor. Reduced Homeobox D4 expression is associated with aggressive tumor features. Functional and mechanistic analyses show that it inhibits epithelial‐mesenchymal transition by repressing ...

FOXOs and their roles in acute and chronic neurological disorders

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences
The forkhead family of transcription factors of class O (FOXOs) consisting of four functionally related proteins, FOXO1, FOXO3, FOXO4, and FOXO6, are mammalian homologs of daf-16 in Caenorhabditis elegans and were previously identified as tumor ...

SIRT6‐Mediated Deacetylation of ATF3 Promotes Silica‐Induced Lung Fibrosis by Enhancing its Nuclear Import via Binding to Importin α

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SIRT6‐mediated ATF3 acetylation drives MGARP transcription and mitochondrial dysfunction in macrophages, promoting macrophage senescence and pulmonary fibrosis. Mechanistically, HSP70/Importin α competitively binds to ATF3, modulating its nuclear translocation.

Upregulation of Foxo3a protects neurons against hypoxia-ischaemia injury

Archives of Medical Science, 2020
Introduction A series of transcription factors have been profiled in ischaemic stroke. Forkhead box protein O 3a (FoxO3a), which belongs to the family of transcription factors, is characterised by a forkhead DNA-binding domain.

CCT2 Promotes Prostate Cancer Progression Through EIF3F‐Dependent Stabilization of FASN

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prostate cancer (PCa) is increasingly recognized to be driven by dysregulated lipid metabolism. Although fatty acid synthase (FASN) is highly expressed in PCa, the mechanisms governing FASN protein stability and its functional integration into oncogenic lipid metabolism remain poorly defined.

Transcriptional Regulation of Neuronal Genes and Its Effect on Neural Functions: NAD-Dependent Histone Deacetylase SIRT1 (Sir2α)

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
Sir2 (silent information regulator 2) is an NAD-dependent deacetylase that is broadly conserved from bacteria to humans. It catalyzes a unique deacetylation reaction using NAD, and specific inhibitors and activators of its activity have been discovered ...
