Kruppel-like factors (KLF) are zinc-finger DNA-binding transcription factors that are critical regulators of tissue homeostasis. Emerging evidence suggests that KLFs are critical regulators of muscle biology in the context of cardiovascular health and disease. The focus of this review is to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge regarding the physiologic and pathologic roles of KLFs in the three lineages of muscle: cardiac, smooth, and skeletal.
Kruppel样因子（KLF）是锌指DNA结合转录因子，是组织稳态的关键调节因子。新出现的证据表明，在心血管健康和疾病背景下，KLF是肌肉生物学的关键调节因子。本综述的重点是概述目前关于KLF在心肌、平滑肌和骨骼肌这三种肌肉谱系中的生理和病理作用的知识状况。
