Abstract

Graphic abstract

E2F transcription factor family is a group of 8 proteins that interact with pocket proteins and bind to target DNA in order to modulate cell cycle progression. Thus, their role is pivotal to cancer development and progression. Bladder cancer, a prominent cancer that affects both sexes, is also affected by E2F. E2F-1, E2F-3 and E2F-4 and -5 have a distinct impact on bladder development, progress and prognosis. However the role of the remaining E2Fs remains obscure, awaiting newer data that could provide useful therapeutic targets.

Keywords: E2F transcription factor, cancer, bladder, apoptosis, regulation
