GSE99492 Effect of Tmsb4x knockout on TGF- ß/MRTF signaling

Contributors : Tsuyoshi Morita ; Ken'ichiro HayashiSeries Type : Expression profiling by arrayOrganism : Mus musculusMyocardin-related transcription factors (MRTFs) are robust co-activator of Serum Reponse Factor, and regulate cell adhesion and motility by controlling the transcription level of cytoskeletal components. In tumor progression, MRTFs has been reported to contribute to metastatic potential. Previously, we reported thymosin- ß4 (Tß4, which is encoded by Tmsb4x gene) as an activator of MRTFs. Enhanced expression of Tß4 is frequently observed during tumor progression, and associated with poor prognosis. However, the relationships between MRTFs and Tß4 in tumor progression are largely unknown. Here we analyze the effec t of Tß4 knockout on the transcription levels of MRTFs-target genes. In particular, we focused on their functions in TGF-ß signaling because both MRTFs and Tß4 are down-stream effectors of TGF-ß.
