Transcription Factor ELF1 Activates MEIS1 Transcription and Then Regulates the GFI1/FBW7 Axis to Promote the Development of Glioma.

ABSTRACT: Glioma is the most common malignancy in the central nervous system with no immediate prospect of a cure. Comprehensive understanding on the pathogenesis of the disorder contributes to a better outcome. Herein, we aimed to investigate whether transcription factors erythroblast transformation-specific (ETS) transcription factor (ELF1), myeloid ecotropic viral integration site 1 (MEIS1), and growth factor independence 1 (GFI1)/F-box/WD repeat-containing protein 7 (FBW7) mediate progression of glioma. ELF1, MEIS1, and GFI1 were upregulated in glioma cells and tissues, as ELF1 was correlated with poor prognosis. Bioinformatics analysis identified the binding between ELF1 and MEIS1 as well as between GFI1 and FBW7, confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments. Functional experim
