- Abstract
The GATA family of transcription factors consists of six proteins (GATA1-6) that control a variety of physiological and pathological processes. In particular, GATA2 and GATA3 are coexpressed in a number of tissues, including in the urogenital and sympathoadrenal systems, in which both factors participate in the developmental process and tissue maintenance. Furthermore, accumulating studies have demonstrated that GATA2 and GATA3 are involved in distinct types of inherited diseases as well as carcinogenesis in diverse tissues. This review summarizes our current knowledge of how GATA2 and GATA3 participate in the transcriptional regulatory circuitry during the development of the sympathoadrenal and urogenital systems, and how their dysregulation results in the carcinogenesis of neuroblastoma, renal urothelial, and gynecologic cancers.
