Kruppel-like factors in tumors: Key regulators and therapeutic avenues

Yuchen Zhang et al.

Summary: Kruppel-like factors (KLFs) are DNA-binding transcriptional regulators that play essential roles in various cellular processes, including tumor development. They regulate multiple signaling pathways and mediate crosstalk among them, and their abnormal expression is closely associated with tumor cell characteristics and alterations in the tumor microenvironment. The role of each KLF in tumors varies depending on tumor type and stage of development. This review focuses on the molecular biology of KLFs, the regulation of classical signaling pathways by these factors, and their potential as molecular targets in tumor therapy.

Summary: This study identifies the role of KLF13 in regulating TGF-(3 signaling and fibrosis. KLF13 recruits a repressor complex to the target genes of TGF-(3, limiting its fibrotic effects. However, persistent activation of TGF-(3 signaling reduces KLF13 levels through degradation and transcriptional inhibition mechanisms, offsetting the anti-fibrotic effect of KLF13.

A negative feedback loop between KLF9 and the EMT program dictates metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma

Tao Wang et al.

Summary: KLF9 is a critical transcription factor that suppresses hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastasis by inhibiting the transcription of mesenchymal genes. The expression of KLF9 is significantly reduced in metastatic HCC. Clinical samples show that KLF9 is downregulated in HCC tissues compared to normal counterparts and further reduced in samples with metastatic lesions. Therefore, KLF9 is of clinical and mechanistic significance in HCC therapies.

Summary: The circadian clock regulates 24-hour oscillations in biochemical, physiological, and behavioral changes through the transcription-translation feedback loop. The transcriptional activator heterodimer of BMAL1 and CLOCK controls the expression of its repressors, CRY, PER, and REV-ERB alpha/beta proteins, which regulate more than 50% of protein encoding genes in humans. The tumor microenvironment can disrupt clock gene functions and promote tumorigenesis. Understanding the relationships between the circadian clock, aging, and cancer is challenging.
