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.

Developmental expression of the mouse gene coding for the Krüppel-like transcription factor KLF5.

TL;DR: Examination of the developmental expression of the mouse Klf5 gene and compared it to the established pattern of the Klf4 gene revealed that the two genes are expressed in both overlapping and mutually exclusive patterns.

Suppression of glioblastoma tumorigenicity by the Kruppel-like transcription factor KLF6.

TL;DR: It is reported that the expression of KLF6 is attenuated in human GBM when compared with primary astrocytes, providing the first evidence of functional tumor suppression by KFL6.
