NFATc1 and NFATc2 repress spontaneous osteoarthritis [PDF]
Significance Currently, little is understood about how the transcriptional regulation of cartilage breakdown contributes to pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). Here, we report that, within cartilage, the transcription factor Nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1) displays selective expression in superficial articular ...

Regulation of the Murine Nfatc1 Gene by NFATc2 [PDF]
NFAT proteins play a key role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes in T lymphocytes. NFATc1 and NFATc2 are the predominant NFAT family members in the peripheral immune system. NFATc2 is found abundantly in the cytoplasm of resting T cells, whereas Nfatc1 expression is induced during T cell activation.

Integrity of the skeleton is sustained through the balanced activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in bone remodeling unit. The balance can be disrupted by excessive osteoclasts activation commonly seen in osteoporosis.

NFATc1 controls the cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells [PDF]
AbstractCytotoxic T lymphocytes are effector CD8+ T cells that eradicate infected and malignant cells. Here we show that the transcription factor NFATc1 controls the cytotoxicity of mouse cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Activation of Nfatc1 −/− cytotoxic T lymphocytes showed a defective cytoskeleton organization and ...

Background It is well known that nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1) expression is closely associated with progression of many cancers. And we found that miR‐338 could directly target the NFATc1.

NFATc1 activates the acetylcholinesterase promoter in rat muscle [PDF]
AbstractNuclear factor of activated T‐cells (NFAT) plays a role in the response of muscle to chronic contractile activity that can result in fiber type switching and hypertrophy. These effects are due in part to activation of target genes following Ca2+‐mediated nuclear translocation of NFAT.

Background Progression of prostate cancer from benign local tumors to metastatic carcinomas is a multistep process. Here we have investigated the signaling pathways that support migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells, focusing on the role of the

Do we use methylation of NFATC1 and FOS genes as a biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis?
Genetic and epigenetic factors have an important role during the development of osteoporosis. Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κ B (NF-κB) (RANK)/receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) pathway is important for the bone remodeling, and NFATC1 and ...

Mitf regulates osteoclastogenesis by modulating NFATc1 activity [PDF]
Transcription factors Mitf and NFATc1 share many downstream targets that are critical for osteoclastogenesis. Since RANKL signals induce/activate both NFATc1 and Mitf isoform-E (Mitf-E), a tissue-restricted Mitf isoform in osteoclasts, it is plausible that the two factors work together to promote osteoclastogenesis.
