TLDR
The roles and regulation of the 17 known KLFs in various cancer-relevant processes are discussed, with some KLFs having different roles in normal cells and cancer, during cancer development and progression and in different cancer types.
Abstract
Kruppel-like factors (KLFs) are a family of DNA-binding transcriptional regulators with diverse and essential functions in a multitude of cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, migration, inflammation and pluripotency. In this Review, we discuss the roles and regulation of the 17 known KLFs in various cancer-relevant processes. Importantly, the functions of KLFs are context dependent, with some KLFs having different roles in normal cells and cancer, during cancer development and progression and in different cancer types. We also identify key questions for the field that are likely to lead to important new translational research and discoveries in cancer biology.

Combinations of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor and ERAD Inhibitor Promote Oxidative Stress-Induced Apoptosis through ATF4 and KLF9 in Medullary Thyroid Cancer.

TL;DR: Findings reveal a combination therapy that induces reactive oxygen species–dependent catastrophic cell death through induction of ATF4 and KLF9 transcriptional activity and identified ATF4 target genes that were synergistically upregulated with the combination of TKI and ERAD inhibitor.

Increased insulin-like growth factor 1 production by polyploid adipose stem cells promotes growth of breast cancer cells

TL;DR: It is found that elevated production of insulin-like growth factor 1 by polyploid ASCs rendered them more potent in tumor growth promotion in vitro, indicating how ASCs with altered genetic background may support tumor progression.

Context-dependent functions of KLF4 in cancers: Could alternative splicing isoforms be the key?

TL;DR: Detailed study of KLf4 alternative splicing may not only provide new insights into the complexity of KLF4 functions but also lead to rational targeting of KlF4 for cancer prevention and therapy.

NF-κB deregulation in splenic marginal zone lymphoma

TL;DR: The progress in understanding the mechanism of NF-κB activation in splenic marginal zone lymphoma is described, including molecular, epigenetic and post-transcriptional modifications of NF -κB genes and of upstream pathways are described, and how information gained has provided new insights on potential targets of diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic relevance.

Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transitions in Development and Disease

TL;DR: The mesenchymal state is associated with the capacity of cells to migrate to distant organs and maintain stemness, allowing their subsequent differentiation into multiple cell types during development and the initiation of metastasis.

Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in development and disease.

TL;DR: A remarkable interdisciplinary effort has unraveled the WNT (Wingless and INT-1) signal transduction cascade over the last two decades, finding that Germline mutations in the Wnt pathway cause several hereditary diseases, and somatic mutations are associated with cancer of the intestine and a variety of other tissues.

Phylogeny.fr: robust phylogenetic analysis for the non-specialist

TL;DR: The Phylogeny.fr platform transparently chains programs to automatically perform phylogenetic analyses and can also meet the needs of specialists; the first ones will find up-to-date tools chained in a phylogeny pipeline to analyze their data in a simple and robust way, while the specialists will be able to easily build and run sophisticated analyses.
