Most cancers originate as a result of aberrant
gene expression in mainly glandular epithelial tissues leading to
defects in epithelial cell differentiation. The latter is governed by
distinct sets of transcriptional regulators. Here we report the
characterization of epithelium-specific Ets factor, family member 3 (ESE-3), a novel member of the ESE subfamily of Ets transcription
factors. ESE-3 shows highest homology to two other epithelium
restricted Ets factors, ESE-1 and ESE-2. ESE-3, like ESE-1 and ESE-2,
is exclusively expressed in a subset of epithelial cells with highest expression in glandular epithelium such as prostate, pancreas, salivary
gland, and trachea. A potential role in branching morphogenesis is
suggested, since ESE-3 transactivates the c-MET promoter via three high
affinity binding sites. Additionally, ESE-3 binding to DNA sequences in
the promoters of several glandular epithelium-specific genes suggests a
role for ESE-3 in later stages of glandular epithelium differentiation.
Although ESE-3 and ESE-1 bind with similar affinity to various Ets
binding sites, ESE-3 and ESE-1 differ significantly in their ability to
transactivate the promoters containing these sites. Our results support
the notion that ESE-1, ESE-2, and ESE-3 represent a unique
epithelium-specific subfamily of Ets factors that have critical but
distinct functions in epithelial cell differentiation and proliferation.
