Krüppel-like factors in cancer
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

TL;DR: It is shown that colorectal cancer (CRC) derived exosomal miR-25-3p promotes vascular leakiness and angiogenesis, CRC metastasis, and is upregulated in CRC pateints with metastasis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Klf9 independently causes increased ROS levels in various types of cultured cells and in mouse tissues and is required for pathogenesis of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice and identified as a ubiquitous regulator of oxidative stress and lung injury.

TL;DR: It is reported that Ccm1 ablation leads to the activation of a MEKK3‐MEK5‐ERK5-MEF2 signaling axis that induces a strong increase in Kruppel‐like factor 4 (KLF4) in ECs in vivo, and this data unveil KLF4 as a therapeutic target for CCM.

TL;DR: Clinicians should be prepared to offer patients a choice between a screening test that is effective at both early cancer detection and cancer prevention through the detection and removal of polyps and those that can detect cancer early and also can detect adenomatous polyps.

Screening and surveillance for the early detection of colorectal cancer and adenomatous polyps.
TL;DR: This update focused on screening in asymptomatic, average-risk adults (aged 50 years), but also considered previous recommendations for persons at increased or high risk for CRC, including persons with a history of adenomatous polyps or a previous curative resection of CRC.

The EMT-activator ZEB1 promotes tumorigenicity by repressing stemness-inhibiting microRNAs

TL;DR: It is proposed that ZEB1 links EMT-activation and stemness-maintenance by suppressingstemness-inhibiting microRNAs (miRNAs) and thereby is a promoter of mobile, migrating cancer stem cells.
