Identification of Small-Molecule Inhibitors of the Colorectal Cancer Oncogene Krüppel-like Factor 5 Expression by Ultrahigh-Throughput Screening

Abstract excerpt

The transcription factor Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) is primarily expressed in the proliferative zone of the mammalian intestinal epithelium, where it regulates cell proliferation. Studies showed that inhibition of KLF5 expression reduces proliferation rates in human colorectal cancer cells and intestinal tumor formation in mice. To identify chemical probes that decrease levels of KLF5, we used cell-based...
