The Role of Krüppel-like Factor 4 in Renal Fibrosis
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) caused by renal fibrosis is an important public health concern. It is therefore necessary to understand the molecular pathogenesis of renal fibrosis in order to develop novel therapeutic strategies. KLF4 is the most extensively studied factor among the various members of the Krüppel-like factor (KLF) family of zinc finger-containing transcription factors. Many studi...
متن کاملKrüppel-Like Factor 4 Transcriptionally Regulates TGF-β1 and Contributes to Cardiac Myofibroblast Differentiation
Angiotensin II (Ang II) plays a major role in the pathogenesis of cardiac fibrosis in hypertension. It is known that Ang II induces TGF-β1 expression. How transcription mediates Ang II-induced TGF-β1 expression, as well as its contribution to cardiac fibrosis, is unknown. We studied the role of Krüppel-like family transcription factors in Ang II-induced myofibroblast formation. We found that am...
متن کاملEpigenetic repression of Krüppel-like factor 4 through Dnmt1 contributes to EMT in renal fibrosis
Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is a transcription factor which plays divergent roles in a number of physiological or pathological process. However, the expression and role of KLF4 in renal fibrosis remain undetermined. The aim of the present study was to determine the epigenetic alterations of KLF4 and its potential role and mechanisms of action in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in re...
متن کاملKrüppel-Like Factor 4 Is a Regulator of Proinflammatory Signaling in Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes through Increased IL-6 Expression
Human fibroblast-like synoviocytes play a vital role in joint synovial inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Proinflammatory cytokines induce fibroblast-like synoviocyte activation and dysfunction. The inflammatory mediator Krüppel-like factor 4 is upregulated during inflammation and plays an important role in endothelial and macrophage activation during inflammation. However, the role of ...
متن کاملMircoRNA-145 promotes activation of hepatic stellate cells via targeting krüppel-like factor 4
Krüppel-like Factor 4 (KLF4), a target gene of miR-145, can negatively regulate lung fibrosis. However, the potential role of KLF4 and miR-145 in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activation or in hepatic fibrosis keeps unclear. This study aims to characterize miR-145 and KLF4 in activated HSCs and liver cirrhotic, and the underlying molecular basis. miR-145 was significantly up-regulated, while KL...
