Role of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) in the expression of interleukin-5 and other cytokines involved in the regulation of hemopoetic cells.

NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells) is a transcription factor that plays a role in the regulation of various cytokines, including those involved in the regulation of hemopoetic cells such as granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-4 (IL4), interleukin-3 (IL3), interleukin-13 (IL13) and interleukin-5 (IL5). In this report we provide a summary of the various locations in the promoters of each of these cytokines where NFAT has been shown or suggested to bind, and at which sites NFAT has been shown to be involved in transcriptional regulation. We also provide experimental data to show that the binding of NFAT to the nucleotides GAA at positions -113 to -111 of the human IL5 promoter is associated with functional activity in human T cells.[1]
