Research Abstract |
In this study, we investigated roles transcription factors play on carcinogenesis and carcinogenesis defense in vivo, focusing on the Nrf2 and GATA transcription factors. We have found that co-operative function of Nrf2 and Keap1, which mediates cellular stress response, is important for the cancer carcinogenesis defense so that the failure in Nrf2-Keap1 system leads to the onset of cancer and poor prognosis. We have further found that deregulated function of GATA factors, which act as key molecules in hematopoietic homeostasis, causes leukemogenesis.
