In this study, we investigate the role of ELK-1 transcription factor and its potential target genes in four cell lines; Daudi, Jurkat, K-562 and HL-60. To evaluate ELK-1, MCPIP, MCL-1, BCL-10, CEBPB and SRF genes expression profiles we have performed a Real-time PCR analysis on Daudi, Jurkat, K-562 and HL-60 cell lines. ELK-1 over expression concomitant with SRF overexpression was detected only in Daudi cell line while only SRF overexpression was detected in jurkat cells. Expression of MCPIP, MCL-1, BCL-10 and CEBPB genes were decreased in all cell lines. Protein levels or phosphorylation status of ELK-1, BCL-10, CEBPB, MCL-1, MCPIP and SRF, moreover, changes that may occur when ELK-1 continuous overexpression is provided or completely silenced in these cell lines have not been evaluated. These questions are suggestions for future investigations. </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Süleyman Demirel University}
