ECM1 expression in chronic liver disease: Regulation by EGF/STAT1 and IFNγ/NRF2 signalling by Yujia Li, Chenjun Huang, Weiguo Fan, Seddik Hammad, Cyrill Géraud, Lea Berger, Shanshan Wang, Ye Yao, Chenhao Tong, Claudia Rubie, Laura Kim Feiner, Zeribe C. Nwosu, Frederik Link, Pia Erdösi, Weronika Piorońska, Kerry Gould, Christoph Meyer, Rilu Feng, Hui Liu, Chen Shao, Bing Sun, Huiguo Ding, Roman Liebe, Matthias P.A. Ebert, Honglei Weng, Matthias Glanemann, Chunfang Gao, Peter ten Dijke, Steven Dooley, Sai Wang

“…Results: In healthy hepatocytes, epidermal growth factor (EGF)/EGF receptor (EGFR) signalling sustains ECM1 expression through phosphorylating signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) at serine727 (S727), thus enhancing its binding to the ECM1 promoter and boosting gene transcription. This process is disrupted during liver inflammation by interferon gamma (IFNγ), which downregulates EGFR and inhibits EGF/EGFR/STAT1-mediated ECM1 promoter binding. …”
