The Ets gene family conserves an 85-amino acid DNA-binding ETS domain that binds the consensus sequence 5'-GGA(A/T)-3' in the promoter region of the target genes.
Ets has various biological functions, including cellular growth, differentiation, and organ development.
Ets-1, first identified among the Ets gene family, has been shown to also be associated with pathological angiogenesis.
A number of angiogenesis-related molecules, including MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-9, integrin 3, vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin), and neuropilin-1 (NRP1) are reported to be targets of Ets-1 in endothelial cells

Ets1 may act as an inducer of ZEB1 in collaboration with E47 (TCF3)

ETS1 binds directly to the Tbx21 and IL2RB (CD122) genes and induces its expression in NK cells.
expression of Ncr1 (NKp46), Cd122 (il2RB), Idb2, Ltb, Lair1 and Tbx21 mRNA is reduced in NK cells after knockdown of ETS1.

Snail1 induces the nuclear translocation of Ets1, another factor required for Zeb1 expression.
Both Twist and Ets1 bind to the ZEB1 promoter although to different elements: whereas Ets1 interacts with the proximal promoter, Twist does it with a 700-bp sequence upstream of the transcription start site.
Snail1 controls Zeb1 expression at multiple levels and acts cooperatively with Twist in the ZEB1 gene transcription induction.

The gene expressions of MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-9 and gelatinolytic activity of MMP-9 were significantly increased in high ETS-1 expression cells.
Low ETS-1 expression cells could not spread on a vitronectin substratum, and the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase was markedly impaired because of the reduced expression of integrin b3

TCF8 (ZEB1) regulates cell invasion and migration via MMP1 expression.
TCF8 is likely to be dispensable for endothelial cell motility.
One possible mechanism underlying the increased invasiveness and migration might be the up-regulated digestion of ECMs via TCF8-mediated transcriptional regulation of the gene encoding MMP1.
MMP1 induction during tube formation was significantly enhanced in Matrigel when TCF8 was silenced

MiR-200b Regulates Ets-1-associated Genes
Suppression of endogenous miR-200b induced MMP-1 and VEGFR2 expressions
Overexpression of Ets-1 did not completely reverse miR- 200b-associated MMP-1 and VEGFR2 down-regulation.
It indicates that miR-200b, apart from targeting Ets-1, might silence other target proteins involved in transcription of the indicated genes.

Our results indicate that MT1-MMP is a direct down-stream target in the Wnt signaling pathway, and that one of the ways accumulated beta-catenin contributes to colorectal carcinogenesis is by transactivating this gene.
MT1-MMP is one target gene of Lef-1/Tcf-4 (Takahashi et al, 2002)

Integrin aVb3 plays an important role in angiogenesis. Bblocking of the binding of endothelial integrin aVb3 inhibits angiogenesis and forces neovascular ECs into apoptosis (Brooks et al., 1994a,b).
PMID:24376839
PTP4A3 is implicated in cell adhesion and the regulation of focal adhesion components including integrin beta-1, Src, paxillin and p130Cas
Similarly, PTP4A3 promotes cell invasion by increasing MMP2 activity and decreasing the expression of the MMP inhibitor, TIMP2.
PTP4A3 is also involved in EMT: PTP4A3 overexpression in colorectal carcinoma cells downregulates epithelial markers (E-cadherin, plakoglobin, and integrin beta-3) and upregulates expression of mesenchymal markers (fibronectin and snail1).
PMID:23691193

VEGF is a predominant angiogenic factor that mediates ocular neovascularization.
VEGF is increased by hypoxia, which is one of the primary stimuli for ocular neovascularization.
VEGF induces Ets-1 expression in bovine retinal endothelial cells and its expression is PKC/ERK pathway-dependent.
