Doxycycline Inducible Kruppel-Like Factor 4 Lentiviral Vector Mediates Mesenchymal to Epithelial Transition in Ovarian Cancer Cells

Abstract: Ovarian cancer presents therapeutic challenges due to its typically late detection, aggressive metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. The transcription factor Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) has been implicated in human cancers as a tumor suppressor or oncogene, although its role depends greatly on the cellular context. The role of KLF4 in ovarian cancer has not been elucidated in mechanistic detail. In this study, we investigated the role of KLF4 in ovarian cancer cells by transducing the ovarian cancer cell li… Show more

“…The results from studies of epidermal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, and prostate cancer with data predominantly originating from in vitro experiments show that KLF4 negatively regulates EMT (28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33). On the other hand, KLF4's ability to regulate the stemness of cancer cells has been shown as an important factor in stimulating EMT in pancreatic, ovarian, endometrial, nasopharyngeal, prostate, and non-small lung cancers (34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40). Here, we demonstrate that KLF4 expression is positively correlated with epithelial markers of EMT in normal mucosa and negatively with mesenchymal markers in CRC.…”
