| Abstract |
KLF4 is a transcriptional factor that can function either as a tumor suppressor or oncogene in cancer based on its cellular context. We recently demonstrated that KLF4 was a tumor suppressor in ovarian cancer cells by inhibiting the epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Here we report that KLF4 expression was downregulated in ovarian cancer tissue compared to normal ovarian tissue, and low KLF4 expression correlated with high risk ovarian carcinoma and poor patient survival. Enforced KLF4 expression by lentiviral transduction sensitized ovarian cancer cells to the effects of the chemotherapy drugs, paclitaxel and cisplatin. Treatment of ovarian cancer cells with APTO-253, a small molecule inducer of KLF4, enhanced the efficacy of both chemotherapy drugs. KLF4 expression mediated by lentiviral vector or induced by APTO-253 resulted in G1 phase arrest in ovarian cancer cells. Our results demonstrate that for the first time that inducing KLF4 expression with APTO-253 is a novel therapeutic strategy for treating ovarian cancer. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 October 2017.
All research outputs
#8,534,528
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Biochemical & Biophysical Research Communications
#7,621
of 26,637 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#146,917
of 421,358 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biochemical & Biophysical Research Communications
#44
of 160 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 26,637 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.5. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 421,358 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 160 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% of its contemporaries.
