Early Growth Response 3 (Egr-3) Is Induced by Transforming Growth Factor-β and Regulates Fibrogenic Responses
30 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
Members of the early growth response (Egr) gene family of transcription factors have nonredundant biological functions. Although Egr-3 is implicated primarily in neuromuscular development and immunity, its regulation and role in tissue repair and fibrosis has not been studied. We now show that in normal skin fibroblasts, Egr-3 was potently induced by transforming growth factor-β via canonical Smad3. Moreover,...
