Cutting Edge: The Transcription Factor Kruppel-Like Factor 4 Regulates the Differentiation of Th17 Cells Independently of RORγt [PDF]
Abstract Th17 cells play a significant role in inflammatory and autoimmune responses. Although a number of molecular pathways that contribute to the lineage differentiation of T cells have been discovered, the mechanisms by which lineage commitment occurs are not fully understood.

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 ...

Prognostic value and immunological role of Kruppel-like transcription factor 9 gene in pan-carcinoma
Objective: To investigate the correlation between the expression of Kruppel-like transcription factor 9 (KLF9) and the prognostic value of tumors as well as its relationship with tumor immune invasion. Methods: A series of bioinformatics methods were used to analyze the relationship

Transcriptional Activity of Erythroid Kruppel-like Factor (EKLF/KLF1) Modulated by PIAS3 (Protein Inhibitor of Activated STAT3) [PDF]
Erythroid Kruppel-like factor (EKLF or KLF1) is a transcription factor crucial for red cell development that is directly involved in regulation of a large number of erythroid genes. EKLF serves mostly as an activator of expression of these genes; however, it can act also as a repressor.

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.

GATA Binding Protein 3 Is a Direct Target of Kruppel-Like Transcription Factor 7 and Inhibits Chicken Adipogenesis [PDF]
Kruppel-like transcription factor 7 (KLF7) is a negative regulator of adipogenesis, however, its precise mechanism is poorly understood. Our previous KLF7 ChIP-seq analysis showed that one of the KLF7 binding peaks was present upstream of GATA binding protein 3 (GATA3) in chicken preadipocytes.

Role of kruppel-like transcription factors in adipogenesis
The zinc-finger transcription factors of the kruppel-like factor family (KLF) are critical in many physiological and pathological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, inflammation, and apoptosis. Recently, there is increasing evidence that suggests these KLFs have an important role in fat biology.

Erythroid Kruppel-like factor (EKLF) is an erythroid-specific transcription factor that binds a CACCC motif found in the human beta-globin gene promoter. We have studied the promoter of the EKLF gene and identified binding sites for the transcription factors GATA-1 and CCAAT-binding Protein 1 (CP1). We show that both types of binding sites are required

Zf9, a Kruppel-like transcription factor up-regulated in vivo during early hepatic fibrosis [PDF]
Wound repair in the liver induces altered gene expression in stellate cells (resident mesenchymal cells) in a process known as “activation.” A zinc finger transcription factor cDNA, zf9 , was cloned from rat stellate cells activated in vivo .
