Sp1 and krüppel‐like factor family of transcription factors in cell growth regulation and cancer

Black, Adrian R., Black, Jennifer D., Azizkhan‐Clifford, Jane·2001·Journal of Cellular Physiology

Abstract

The Sp/KLF family contains at least twenty identified members which include Sp1‐4 and numerous krüppel‐like factors. Members of the family bind with varying affinities to sequences designated as ‘Sp1 sites’ (e.g., GC‐boxes, CACCC‐boxes, and basic transcription elements). Family members have different transcriptional properties and can modulate each other's activity by a variety of mechanisms. Since cells can express multiple family members, Sp/KLF factors are likely to make up a transcriptional network through which gene expression can be fine‐tuned. ‘Sp1 site’‐dependent transcription can be growth‐regulated, and the activity, expression, and/or post‐translational modification of multiple family members is altered with cell growth. Furthermore, Sp/KLF factors are involved in many growth‐related signal transduction pathways and their overexpression can have positive or negative effects on proliferation. In addition to growth control, Sp/KLF factors have been implicated in apoptosis and angiogenesis; thus, the family is involved in several aspects of tumorigenesis. Consistent with a role in cancer, Sp/KLF factors interact with oncogenes and tumor suppressors, they can be oncogenic themselves, and altered expression of family members has been detected in tumors. Effects of changes in Sp/KLF factors are context‐dependent and can appear contradictory. Since these factors act within a network, this diversity of effects may arise from differences in the expression profile of family members in various cells. Thus, it is likely that the properties of the overall network of Sp/KLF factors play a determining role in regulation of cell growth and tumor progression. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
