Serum tumor marker levels as well as invasion gene and tumor suppressor gene expression in tumor tissue were compared between patients with different KLF9 expression.Results: KLF9 expression in pancreatic cancer tissue was significantly lower than that in paracancerous tissue;serum tumor markers CA19-9, CA242, CA50 and CEA levels of low KLF9 expression group were higher than those of high KLF9 expression group;focal invasion genes DKK-1, GSK3β and HOXB7 mRNA expression of low KLF9 expression group were higher than those of high KLF9 expression group while tumor suppressor genes Bach2, SIRT3, DPC4 and Kiss-1 mRNA expression were lower than those of high KLF9 expression group.Conclusion: The expression of KLF9 decreases in pancreatic cancer tissues, and the expression of KLF9 is negatively correlated with the malignant degree of tumor.展开更多

Posttranslational modification of KLF proteins is important for their transcriptional activities and biological functions. One KLF family member with important roles in cell proliferation and tumorigenesis is KLF5. The function of KLF5 is tightly controlled by post-translational modifications, including SUMOylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination. Recent studies from our lab and others' have demonstrated that the tumor suppressor FBW7 is an essential E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets KLF5 for ubiquitination and degradation. KLF5 contains functional Cdc4 phospho-degrons(CPDs), which are required for its interaction with FBW7. Mutation of CPDs in KLF5 blocks the ubiquitination and degradation of KLF5 by FBW7. The protein kinase Glycogen synthase kinase 3β is involved in the phosphorylation of KLF5 CPDs. In both cancer cell lines and mousemodels, it has been shown that FBW7 regulates the expression of KLF5 target genes through the modulation of KLF5 stability. In this review, we summarize the current progress on delineating FBW7-mediated KLF5 ubiquitination and degradation.展开更多
