Abstract

Early growth response-1 (EGR-1), also termed NEFI-A and Krox-24, as a multi-domain protein is implicated in several vital physiological processes, including development, metabolism, cell growth and proliferation. Previous studies have implied that EGR-1 was producing in response to the tissue injury, immune response and fibrosis. Meanwhile, emerging studies stressed the pronounced correlation of EGR-1 and human cancers. Nevertheless, the intricate mechanisms of cancer-reduce EGR-1 alteration still poorly characterized. In the review, we evaluated the effects of EGR-1 in tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion and tumor microenvironment, and then, we dwell on the intricate signaling pathways that EGR-1 involved in. The aberrantly expressed of EGR-1 in cancers are expected to provide a new cancer therapy strategy or a new marker for assessing treatment efficacy.
