Resistance Mechanisms of Tumor Cells
Published in Peter Grunwald, Pharmaceutical Biocatalysis, 2019
In the hematopoietic system, other proteins are also able to exhibit these features. The EGR1 transcription factor (as well as EGR2 or EGR3) allows stem cells to go into homeostasis or dormancy to maintain them (Min et al., 2008; reviewed in Kühn et al., 2016). EGR1 has initially identified as activator of p21 and as gatekeeper of the TP53 (Krones-Herzig et al., 2003). Cells (over)expressing EGR1 protein can potentially escape treatment, and are presumably one of the reasons for relapses. A dormant cell needs only to switch back from this dormant state to the normal growth program. Recently, it has been shown that CDK4 but mainly overexpressed CDK6 (under certain stress conditions) re-activates dormant stem cells and causes tumor cell formation (Scheicher et al., 2015). Similarly, other factors have been described, such as HOXB4 (an OCT4 and GATA2 downstream target gene; Huang et al., 2016), which is capable of inducing sufficient amounts of the RUNX1 transcription factor to maintain hematopoietic stem cells (Teichweyde et al., 2017).

IL31 c.183 C > G (rs7974857) is located in intron 2 and the G allele and was associated with AD in the Taiwanese population (Lan et al. 2011). IL31 −1066 AA genotype and A allele were associated with AD in the Polish population (Sokołowska-Wojdyło et al. 2012). IL31-1066 is located within a consensus site for the GATA transcription factor family (GATA1, GATA2, and GATA3) (Schulz et al. 2007). GATA3 plays an important role in inflammatory processes in AD (Schulz et al. 2007).
