Summary

EBF3 (EBF transcription factor 3, HGNC:19087) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q26.3, encoding Transcription factor COE3 (Q9H4W6). Transcriptional activator. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).

This gene encodes a member of the early B-cell factor (EBF) family of DNA binding transcription factors. EBF proteins are involved in B-cell differentiation, bone development and neurogenesis, and may also function as tumor suppressors. The encoded protein inhibits cell survival through the regulation of genes involved in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and aberrant methylation or deletion of this gene may play a role in multiple malignancies including glioblastoma multiforme and gastric carcinoma.

  • Expression of EBF3 resulted in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. EBF3 regulates a transcriptional program underlying a putative tumor suppression pathway. (PMID:17018599)
  • Frequent methylation of EBF3 gene is associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (PMID:18559491)
  • Findings suggested that the transfection of EBF3 gene into HepG2 induced the cell proliferation from G1 phase to G2 phase by increasing the number of cells. (PMID:18845077)
  • Results verify IRX1, EBF3, SLC5A8, SEPT9, and FUSSEL18 as valid methylation markers in two separate sets of HNSCC specimens; also preliminarily show a trend between HPV16 positivity and target gene hypermethylation of IRX1, EBF3, SLC5A8, and SEPT9. (PMID:20029986)
  • EBF3 tumor suppressor is epigenetically silenced and that it serves as an independent prognostic marker in gastric carcinoma. (PMID:21387304)
  • Early B-cell factor 3 (EBF3) is a novel tumor suppressor gene with promoter hypermethylation in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (PMID:25609158)
  • EBF3, a transcription factor previously unknown to be associated with human disease, is important for brain and other organ development and warrants further investigation (PMID:28017370)
  • findings indicate that mutations in EBF3 cause a genetic neurodevelopmental syndrome and suggest that loss of EBF3 function might mediate a subset of neurologic phenotypes shared by ARX-related disorders, including intellectual disability, abnormal genitalia, and structural CNS malformations (PMID:28017372)
  • findings demonstrate that variants disrupting EBF3-mediated transcriptional regulation cause intellectual disability and developmental delay and are present in approximately 0.1% of individuals with unexplained neurodevelopmental disorders (PMID:28017373)
  • Results found that hypermethylation of the EBF3 promoter was associated with increased EBF3 mRNA levels in metastatic melanomas and subsequent inhibition of DNA methylation reduced EBF3 expression, suggesting that EBF3 promoter hypermethylation may be a candidate epigenetic driver of metastasis. (PMID:28030832)
  • In 11 affected individuals from 11 unrelated families, we identified de novo variants in EBF3 as potentially causative for the neurodevelopmental phenotype. The variants include one nonsense, two frameshift deletions, one splice, and three missense variants. There are three de novo missense variants, (p.(Lys64Thr), p.(His157Gln), and p.(Arg209Gln), which are all in the COE1 DNA-binding domain. (PMID:29162653)
  • Loss of EBF3 expression is associated with Hereditary Melanoma. (PMID:29522175)
  • Data show that early B-cell factor 3 (EBF3) was identified as the direct downstream target gene of miR-23b-3p. (PMID:29750239)
  • Associations of Pulmonary Fibrosis with Peripheral Blood Th1/Th2 Cell Imbalance and EBF3 Gene Methylation in Uygur Pigeon Breeder’s Lung Patients. (PMID:29913442)
  • Findings suggest characteristic DNA methylation changes in EBF3 is relatively common tumor-associated epigenetic events in multiple tumor types, which is consistent with a potential role as more general drivers of tumor progression. (PMID:31383000)
  • Clinical spectrum of individuals with de novo EBF3 variants or deletions. (PMID:34050706)
  • Coding and noncoding variants in EBF3 are involved in HADDS and simplex autism. (PMID:34256850)
