Kruppel-like Transcription Factor 6 Regulates Inflammatory Macrophage Polarization [PDF]
Accumulating evidence supports the importance of macrophage plasticity in a broad spectrum of biological processes operative in health and disease. A major locus of control regulating macrophage polarization is at the transcriptional level, and several major pathways have been elucidated in recent years.

Gut microbiota–derived short‐chain fatty acids regulate group 3 innate lymphoid cells in HCC
Abstract Background and Aims Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are essential for host defense against infection and tissue homeostasis. However, their role in the development of HCC has not been adequately confirmed. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory role of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) derived from intestinal microbiota in ILC3

The Kruppel‐like transcription factor KLF13 is a novel regulator of heart development [PDF]
In humans, congenital heart defects occur in 1-2% of live birth, but the molecular mechanisms and causative genes remain unidentified in the majority of cases. We have uncovered a novel transcription pathway important for heart morphogenesis. We report that KLF13, a member of the Krüppel-like family of zinc-finger proteins, is expressed predominantly ...

Kruppel-like factor 4 is critical for transcriptional control of cardiac mitochondrial homeostasis [PDF]
Mitochondrial homeostasis is critical for tissue health, and mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to numerous diseases, including heart failure. Here, we have shown that the transcription factor Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) governs mitochondrial biogenesis, metabolic function, dynamics, and autophagic clearance.

Cell-specific Transcription of Leukotriene C4Synthase Involves a Kruppel-like Transcription Factor and Sp1 [PDF]
Leukotriene C(4) synthase (LTC(4)S) is responsible for the biosynthesis of cysteinyl leukotrienes that participate in allergic and asthmatic inflammation. We analyzed 2.1 kilobases of the 5'-flanking region of the human LTC(4)S gene, which contains three DNase I hypersensitivity sites, for its transcriptional activity when fused to a promoterless and ...

Lung Kruppel-like Factor, a Zinc Finger Transcription Factor, Is Essential for Normal Lung Development [PDF]
Lung Kruppel-like factor (LKLF) is a member of the Kruppel-like factor family of transcription factors and is highly expressed in lung with limited distribution in other tissues. Mice lacking LKLF due to inactivation of LKLF by gene targeting die in utero at midgestation around day 12.5 due to severe hemorrhage, making it difficult to study the role of

Activation and Repression of Interleukin-12 p40 Transcription by Erythroid Kruppel-like Factor in Macrophages [PDF]
Transcription of interleukin (IL)-12 p40 in myeloid cells is attributed to the recruitment of multiple activated transcription factors such as nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB), CCAAT enhancer-binding protein beta, ets-2, PU.1, and so forth. We now provide the first description of the human erythroid Kruppel-like factor (EKLF) in human primary ...

Kruppel-Like Factor 2 Is a Transcriptional Regulator of Chronic and Acute Inflammation
Although myeloid cell activation is requisite for an optimal innate immune response, this process must be tightly controlled to prevent collateral host tissue damage. Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) is a potent regulator of myeloid cell proinflammatory activation.

Transcriptional repression of Kruppel like factor‐2 by the adaptor protein p66shc
ABSTRACT The adaptor protein p66shc promotes cellular oxidative stress and apoptosis. Here, we demonstrate a novel mechanistic relationship between p66shc and the kruppel like factor‐2 (KLF2) transcription factor and show that this relationship has biological relevance to p66shc‐regulated cellular oxidant level ...
