Down-regulation of genes belonging to the JUN, FOS, and ATF families of transcription factors has previously been described. In this study, we demonstrate that the loss of AP-1 subunit gene expression leads to a decrease in AP-1 enhancer occupancy. CRISPR/Cas9 mediated depletion of AP-1 subunits demonstrates that loss of AP-1 subunit gene expression results in a perturbation of extracellular matrix-associated gene expression. This work establishes AP-1 as an important transcription factor in uterine leiomyoma gene transcription. SOURCE: Debabrata Chakravarti (debu@northwestern.edu) - Northwestern University
