“…These included albumin, transthyretin, alcohol dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphatase, DHEA sulfotransferase (SULT2A1), the EGFR, and HNF4 (38,39). Although some of the differentially expressed genes, such as Ereg, H19, CTGF, Egr1, and the EGFR, are recognized transcriptional targets of WT1 (1,8,40,41), most of the genes identified in our study have not been functionally linked to WT1, and therefore may be indirect targets of this transcription factor. Indeed, many of the modified genes upon WT1 silencing were transcription factors such as Egr1, ID1, PEA3, and DEC1, the alteration of which may effect on a wide range of target genes.…”
