    basic FUNCTION
  • recognizing the palindromic sequence 5'- TTGGCNNNNNGCCAA-3' present in viral and cellular promoters and in the origin of replication of adenovirus type 2
  • being capable of activating transcription and replication
  • play roles in patterning, glial development, cortical cell migration and axon guidance
  • involved in the cooperative regulation of whey acidic protein (WFDC5) gene transcription along with the glucocorticoid receptor and STAT5
  • rearrangement of NFIB might be associated with deep-seated lipomas, such as retroperitoneal or gastro-intestinal lipomas
  • plays an important role in the generation of precerebellar mossy fiber neurons, and may do so at least in part by regulating neurogenesis
  • mesenchymal NFIB-mediated signals are essential for the maturation of distal lung epithelium
  • CUX1 and NFIB contribute to autism spectrum disorder susceptibility
  • transcription factor NFIB is an unanticipated coordinator of stem cell behaviour
  • critical functions of NFIB in regulating cortical development
  • promotes pro-metastatic neuronal gene expression programs and drives the metastatic ability of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells
  • transcription factor required for proper development and regulation of cellular differentiation in several tissues
  • exhibits tumour suppressive functions in many malignancies
  • plays a crucial role in the progression of several types of cancers
  • promotes tumor growth and aggressiveness of gastric cancer
  • importance of NFIB for normal cortical development

    small molecule
    protein
  • forced expressions of NFIB markedly reduced TSHB promoter activity and its mRNA expression
  • NFIB binds to the EZH2 promoter and overexpression of NFIB represses EZH2 transcription
  • NFIB-STAT5 modules, possibly in conjunction with other transcription factors, control cell-specific genetic programs
  • fundamental role for NFIB as a coregulator of AR action in the prostate and in controlling prostatic hyperplasia (
  • regulates the expression of genes related to axon guidance, focal adhesion and extracellular matrix-receptor interactions

    tumoral fusion translocation    
    t(6;9)(q23.3;p22.3) translocation in adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) of the breast and head and neck results in fusions encoding chimeric transcripts predominantly consisting of MYB exon 14 linked to the last coding exon(s) of NFIB
    tumoral fusion      
    in a case of retroperitoneal lipoma, fusion of HMGA2 with NFIB with a t(9;16;19)(p22;q21;q13) and a rearrangement of NFIB and no rearrangement of HMGA2

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Nfia and Nfix null mice exhibit no apparent pontine phenotype, implying specificity in the action of NFI family members
  • Nfib-deficient mice possess unique defects in lung maturation and exhibit callosal agenesis and forebrain defects that are similar to, but more severe than, those seen in Nfia-deficient animals
  • Nfib knockout embryos display multiple defects, including agenesis of the corpus callosum, enlarged ventricles, and hippocampal anomalies
  • Nfib(-/-) mice exhibit an increased number of proliferative ventricular zone cells that express progenitor cell markers and upregulation of Ezh2 expression within the neocortex and hippocampus
