| Title: | Krüppel-like factors in glycolipid metabolic diseases. |
| Abstract: | Krüppel-like factors (KLFs) are a family of transcription factors characterised by zinc-finger structures at the C-terminal. They play the key roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration, as well as in embryonic development. They have been widely expressed in multiple systems in vivo, and their dysregulation is closely associated with a variety of human diseases. Glycolipid metabolism is a complex physiological process which can be regulated at the transcriptional level. Glycolipid metabolic diseases, such as obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, diabetes, and their complications, are a serious threat to human health. Recently, increasing studies have shown that KLFs are closely related to glycolipid metabolism and energy balance of the liver, adipose tissue, heart, skeletal muscle, lung, pancreas, and nervous system. In this review, we focused on the correlation between the subtypes of the KLF family and glycolipid metabolic diseases to describe new directions and trends in endocrine and glycolipid metabolic disease treatments. |
