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.

Vitamin Regulation of Osteoclast Differentiation
Objectives: Vitamins play critical roles in cellular metabolism, growth, and many enzymatic processes of the human body. They are also crucial in signal transduction and transcription pathways of many processes, including osteoclast differentiation. This

Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing cells essential for skeletal remodeling. However, over-active osteoclasts can cause bone-degenerative disorders. Therefore, the level of NFATc1, the master transcription factor of osteoclast, must be tightly controlled ...

A Novel Reactive Oxygen Species‐Responsive Bone‐Targeted Nanoplatform Based on Cloperastine Attenuates Ovariectomy‐Induced Bone Loss by Inhibiting Osteoclast Oxidative Phosphorylation [PDF]
Cloperastine suppresses osteoclastogenesis by inhibiting PGC1β‐mediated oxidative phosphorylation. Its incorporation into a ROS‐responsive, Asp8‐modified nanoplatform enhances skeletal accumulation. The resulting Clo/Asp8‐PMK‐MCs combine cloperastine‐mediated antiresorptive activity with carrier‐mediated osteogenic activity to attenuate OVX‐induced ...

Lack of NFATc1 SUMOylation prevents autoimmunity and alloreactivity
Posttranslational modification with SUMO is known to regulate the activity of transcription factors, but how SUMOylation of individual proteins might influence immunity is largely unexplored. The NFAT transcription factors play an essential role in antigen receptor-mediated gene regulation. SUMOylation of NFATc1 represses IL-2 in vitro, but its role in

NFATc1 regulates lymphatic endothelial development
NFATc1 transcription factor is critical for lineage selection in T-cell differentiation, cardiac valve morphogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. We identified a role for calcineurin-NFAT signaling in lymphatic development and patterning. NFATc1 was colocalized with lymphatic markers Prox-1, VEGFR-3 and podoplanin on cardinal vein as lymphatic endothelial ...

Atypical behavior of NFATc1 in cultured intercostal myofibers [PDF]
Abstract Background The NFATc transcription factor family is responsible for coupling cytoplasmic calcium signals to transcription programs in a wide variety of cell types. In skeletal muscle, these transcription factors control the fiber type in response to muscle activity.

The Role of Ca2+-NFATc1 Signaling and Its Modulation on Osteoclastogenesis [PDF]
The increasing of intracellular calcium concentration is a fundamental process for mediating osteoclastogenesis, which is involved in osteoclastic bone resorption. Cytosolic calcium binds to calmodulin and subsequently activates calcineurin, leading to NFATc1 activation, a master transcription factor required for osteoclast differentiation.
