Abstract  

KLF8 (Krüppel-like factor 8) is a novel member of the Krüppel-like transcription factor family. KLF8 is widely expressed in different tissues such as skin, adipose, and esophagus, etc. Early studies showed that KLF8 protein was possessed of transcriptional inhibitory activity and played an important role in embryonic development. In recent years, increasing studies indicated that KLF8 was highly expressed ubiquitously in various types of tumor tissues, and acted as a transcriptional activator. KLF8 could promote tumorigenesis process through regulation of cell proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT, and cancer cells stemness. This article will review the research progress of KLF8 in recent years and systematically expound KLF8 expression regulation and its oncogenic mechanism. It may provide a reference for comprehensive understanding and further study of KLF8 in tumorigenesis.
