EBF3 (EBF Transcription Factor 3)

EBF3 transcriptionally activates ACADL and blocks the Hippo/YAP pathway to inhibit BC progression.

Corroborating the RNA-sequencing, staining revealed fewer lateral line neuromasts and reduced Parvalbumin signal in the cerebellum. This study sets the stage for determining which downstream pathways underlie the emergence of the observed phenotypes and establishes multiple strong phenotypes that could form the basis of a drug screen.

Our findings demonstrated that SNORA47, through its interaction with early B-cell factor 3(EBF3), facilitated the translocation of ribosomal protein L11(RPL11), which as a modulator that subsequently regulates the expression levels of the oncogene c-Myc. These discoveries provided novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of breast cancer progression and suggested potential therapeutic targets for overcoming drug sensitivity by disrupting the SNORA47-EBF3-RPL11 axis.

miR-301b-3p enhanced glycolysis and promoted the stem-like phenotype of BC cells by targeting EBF3. These findings can offer new therapeutic approaches for BC.

Notably, the PNC phenotype relies on the expression of EBF3, an early neurogenic transcription factor, which is directly controlled by MYC transcription factors in accessible chromatin sites. Overall our findings indicate that the concomitant presence of genetic alterations, impinging on both cell cycle and p53 pathway control, strongly predisposes GBM to develop a concomitant poorly differentiated primitive phenotype depending on MYC-driven EBF3 transcription in a subset of glioma stem-like progenitor cells.

In all analyses, TBX15 methylation and mRNA expression retained the strongest association with tissue of origin in SFT and other sarcomas, suggesting a possible marker to distinguish metastatic tumors from new primaries without genomic profiling. Epigenetic signatures may further help to identify SFT progenitor cells at different anatomic sites.

Patients in the high-risk group exhibited increased sensitivity to mitomycin C, cisplatin, gemcitabine, rapamycin, and paclitaxel, while those in the low-risk group showed heightened sensitivity to doxorubicin. The MP-related prognostic model comprising six MPRGs can effectively predict HCC prognosis, infer invasiveness, and guide drug therapy. SCN4A is identified as a suppressor gene in HCC.

Further, our study provides novel insights into the function of the EBF3 gene, which remains largely unknown. Overall, this study challenges the conventional view of methylation as solely a gene-silencing mechanism and demonstrates a potential function of EBF3 in IFN pathway signalling, potentially uncovering new insights into epigenetic drivers of malignancy and metastasis.

DNA methylation profiling confirmed the existence of three molecular subtypes of somatotroph PitNETs. High expression of NR5A1 and GIPR in subtype 1 tumors is correlated with specific methylation of both genes.
