Abstract
Endometrial cancer (EC) is a reproductive system disease that occurs in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. However, its etiology is unclear. Melatonin (MT) has been identified as a therapeutic agent for EC; however, its exact mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, we determined that GATA-binding protein 2 (GATA2) is expressed at low levels in EC and regulated by MT. MT upregulates the expression of GATA2 through MT receptor 1A (MTNR1A), whereas GATA2 can promote the expression of MTNR1A by binding to its promoter region. In addition, in vivo and in vitro experiments showed that MT inhibited the proliferation and metastasis of EC cells by upregulating GATA2 expression. The protein kinase B (AKT) pathway was also affected. In conclusion, these findings suggest that MT and GATA2 play significant roles in EC development.

Abstract
The transcription factor GATA2 is involved in human diseases ranging from hematopoietic disorders, to cancer, to infectious diseases. GATA2 is one of six GATA-family transcription factors that act as pioneering transcription factors which facilitate the opening of heterochromatin and the subsequent binding of other transcription factors to induce gene expression from previously inaccessible regions of the genome. Although GATA2 is essential for hematopoiesis and lymphangiogenesis, it is also expressed in other tissues such as the lung, prostate gland, gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system, placenta, fetal liver, and fetal heart. Gene or transcriptional abnormalities of GATA2 causes or predisposes patients to several diseases including the hematological cancers acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the primary immunodeficiency MonoMAC syndrome, and to cancers of the lung, prostate, uterus, kidney, breast, gastric tract, and ovaries. Recent data has also linked GATA2 expression and mutations to responses to infectious diseases including SARS-CoV-2 and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, and to inflammatory disorders such as atherosclerosis. In this article we review the role of GATA2 in the etiology and progression of these various diseases.

Abstract
Accumulated studies have provided controversial evidences of expression patterns and prognostic value of the GATA family in human ovarian cancer. In the present study, we accessed the distinct expression and prognostic roles of 7 individual members of GATA family in ovarian cancer (OC) patients through Oncomine analysis, CCLE analysis, Human Protein Atlas (HPA), Kaplan–Meier plotter (KM plotter) database, cBioPortal and Metascape. Our results indicated that GATA1, GATA3, GATA4 and TRPS1 mRNA and protein expression was significantly higher in OC than normal samples. High expression of GATA1, GATA2, and GATA4 were significantly correlated with better overall survival (OS), while increased GATA3 and GATA6 expression were associated with worse prognosis in OC patients. GATA1, GATA2, GATA3 and GATA6 were closely related to the different pathological histology, pathological grade, clinical stage and TP53 mutation status of OC. The genetic variation and interaction of the GATA family may be closely related to the pathogenesis and prognosis of OC, and the regulatory network composed of GATA family genes and their neighboring genes are mainly involved in Notch signaling pathway, Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation and Hippo signaling pathway. Transcriptional GATA1/2/3/4/6 could be prognostic markers and potential therapeutic target for OC patients.

Prostate Cancer Susceptibility Loci Identified in GATA2 and ZMIZ1 in Chinese Population. Int J Genomics 2022; 2022:8553530. [PMID: 35372566 PMCID: PMC8970932 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8553530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Revised: 11/04/2021] [Accepted: 12/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Common genetic risk variants for prostate cancer (PCa) have been identified at approximately 170 loci using genome-wide association studies (GWAS), most of which were identified in European populations. Recently, GWAS were applied to a large Japanese cohort and identified 12 novel susceptibility loci associated with PCa risk. In this study, we aim to investigate PCa susceptibility loci in the Chinese population. The study data will be used to promote PCa risk control in China. Methods A total of 235 PCa patients and 252 control subjects (all unrelated) were enrolled in this case-control PCa study. Nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in GATA2 (rs73862213, rs2335052, and rs10934857), ZMIZ1 (rs704017, rs77911174, and rs3740259), and SUN2 (rs78397383, rs5750680, and rs138705) genes. The associations between the candidate SNPs and PCa were analyzed using multiple-factor logistic regression and haplotype analysis. Results The allele frequency distributions of rs73862213 and rs2335052 in the GATA2 gene and rs704017 and rs77911174 in the ZMIZ1 gene were found to be significantly different between PCa cases and controls. Haplotype analysis revealed that the G-C-A haplotype of the GATA2 gene (order of SNPs: rs73862213-rs2335052-rs10934857) and the G-G-G haplotype of the ZMIZ1 gene (order of SNPs: rs704017-rs77911174-rs3740259) were associated with increased PCa risk. None of the SUN2 haplotypes were associated with PCa. Conclusions Our study data indicates that the minor alleles of rs73862213 and rs2335052 in the GATA2 gene and rs704017 and rs77911174 in the ZMIZ1 gene were associated with increased PCa risk. These findings greatly extended our knowledge of the etiology of PCa.

Int J Lab Hematol 2021; 43:1491-1500.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION GATA binding protein 2 (GATA2) gene, involved in progression of hematologic malignancies and various solid tumors, is a susceptibility gene for inherited acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the influence of its single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on AML remains unknown. METHODS We used allele-specific PCR to genotype GATA2 rs2335052 and rs78245253 in 159 newly diagnosed AML (non-M3) patients and 300 healthy volunteers, and all of participants came from China. And 34 common hematological tumor gene mutations in 159 AML patients were detected by next-generation sequencing. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazard regression were used to analyze the association between the two SNPs and the prognosis of AML. RESULTS We found GATA2 rs2335052 C/T genotype, rs2335052 T/T genotype and rs78245253 G/C genotype in 51.6%, 13.8% and 11.3% AML patients. Our results demonstrated that GATA2 rs2335052 and rs78245253 were associated with certain laboratory features in AML patients, which had no effect on the pathogeny, chemotherapy response and recurrence of patients. Nevertheless, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that, compared with rs78245253 G/G genotype, rs78245253 G/C genotype was significantly related to a decrease in overall survival (OS) (P = .020). Additionally, multivariate cox regression analysis showed that GATA2 rs78245253 was an independent risk factor for OS of AML patients in China. CONCLUSION GATA2 rs78245253 was an independent predictor for prognosis of AML patients in China and may be used as a potential indicator to predict the survival of AML patients in China. Further studies are needed to validate these findings and clarify the underlying mechanism.
