Reporter transcription factor | Name | p-value | # of targeted genes | Association of the transcription factor with human diseases |
---|---|---|---|---|
E2F4 | E2F Transcription Factor 4 | 0.013 | 91 | Over-expression was associated with breast and colon cancers; mutation was associated with endometrial, prostate, colorectal, and gastric cancers as well as ulcerative colitis-associated neoplasm; amplification was associated with bladder cancer [47–49]. |
ETS1 | ETS Proto-Oncogene 1 | 0.014 | 184 | Up-regulation has been linked with cervical, breast and ovarian cancers [50]. |
CUTL1 | Cut Like Homeobox 1 | 0.022 | 3 | Over-expression was reported in high-grade carcinomas, and cause tubule formation obstruction in breast cancer [51]. |
