Emerging roles of activating transcription factor (ATF) family members in tumourigenesis and immunity: Implications in cancer immunotherapy
摘要
Abstract
ivating transcription factors
ATFs
are a group of bZIP transcription factors that act as homodimers or heterodimers with a range of other bZIP factors. In general
ATFs respond to extracellular signals
indicating their important roles in maintaining homeostasis. The ATF family includes ATF1
ATF2
ATF3
ATF4
ATF5
ATF6
and ATF7. Consistent with the diversity of cellular processes reported to be regulated by ATFs
the functions of ATFs are also diverse. ATFs play an important role in cell proliferation
apoptosis
differentiation and inflammation-related pathological processes. The expression and phosphorylation status of ATFs are also related to neurodegenerative diseases and polycystic kidney disease. Various miRNAs target ATFs to regulate cancer proliferation
apoptosis
autophagy
sensitivity and resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Moreover
ATFs are necessary to maintain cell redox homeostasis. Therefore
deepening our understanding of the regulation and function of ATFs will provide insights into the basic regulatory mechanisms that influence how cells integrate extracellular and intracellular signals into genomic responses through transcription factors. Under pathological conditions
especially in cancer biology and response to treatment
the characterization of ATF dysfunction is important for understanding how to therapeutically utilize ATF2 or other pathways controlled by transcription factors. In this review
we will demonstrate how ATF1
ATF2
ATF3
ATF4
ATF5
ATF6
and ATF7 function in promoting or suppressing cancer development and identify their roles in tumour immunotherapy.
