Over-expression of FLI1 in the epithelial cell line HaCaT increased expression of inflammatory markers associated with psoriasis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Friend virus induced leukemia-1 (Fli-1) is a ETS related oncogenic transcription factor initially identified by our group as a target of retroviral insertional mutagenesis in erythroleukemia induced by Friend virus. This oncogene is also activated through translocation (EWS-FLI1) or overexpression in various human solid and liquid tumors. In addition to cancer, FLI1 is involved in the development of various illnesses including inflammatory diseases. While overexpression of Fli-1 contributes to the development of autoimmune systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), loss of this transcription factor in fibroblasts underlines systemic sclerosis. Finally, Fli-1 is also a major regulator of immunity, hematopoiesis and stem cell maintenance and developmen. Previously, we used RNAseq data of FLI1-depleted human leukemic cells and identified a correlation between FLI1 deficiency and reduced expression of markers of psoriasis. Accordingly, overexpression of FLI1 in the epithelial cell line HaCaT increased expression of these markers of inflammation and psoriasis.
