Replicative, Stress-induced
Senescence Effect
Induces
Observations
Expression of GATA4 induced senescence in human diploid fibroblasts (BJ and IMR-90). These displayed increased SA-beta-galactosidase activity and decreased BrdU incorporation. Depletion of GATA4 partially decreased ionising radiation (IR) induced SA-beta-Gal activity and delayed replicative senescence. GATA4 acts through NF-kappaB to initiate the SASP dependant on activation by ATM and ATR and independent of p53 or p16 signalling.

    Description
    This gene encodes a member of the GATA family of zinc-finger transcription factors. Members of this family recognize the GATA motif which is present in the promoters of many genes. This protein is thought to regulate genes involved in embryogenesis and in myocardial differentiation and function, and is necessary for normal testicular development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with cardiac septal defects. Additionally, alterations in gene expression have been associated with several cancer types. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
