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.read more

Investigation of KLF5 Function in Normal Hematopoiesis.
TL;DR: The data in the Klf 5 conditional KO model are consistent with Klf5 playing a role in growth and differentiation in the myeloid lineage, as suggested by in vitro data, and further suggests that Klf4 may have roles in multiple haematopoietic lineages.

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.
