Abstract
E26 transformation-specific-1 (ETS1) is a founding member of the ETS transcription factor family. This transcription factor is highly conserved in amino acid sequences and highly expressed in many immune tissues, such as the thymus, spleen, and lymph gland. ETS1 plays multiple regulatory roles in immune-related diseases and acts as a transcriptional activator or inhibitor of many genes to regulate immune cell differentiation, development, apoptosis, and tumor occurrence. The expression level of ETS1 is correlated with disease severity. However, the molecular mechanisms behind disease and tumor progression mediated by ETS1 have not been fully elucidated. In addition, the therapeutic potential of ETS1 in clinical treatment remains to be further explored. Here, we review and summarize the molecular structure and functions of ETS1 and then focus on the roles of ETS1 in the occurrence of autoimmune diseases and cancers. This review provides a reference corroborating ETS1 as a potential therapeutic target for immune-related diseases and cancers.
