Background: GATA3 is a transcription factor containing a zinc finger domain. GATA3 is primarily expressed in T cells, where it thought to participate in T-cell receptor gene activation through binding to enhancers. Analysis of conditional GATA3 knockout mice confirmed the critical role of GATA3 in helper T cell differentiation and proliferation. Cells expressing GATA3 develop the profile of Th2 cells, secreting IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13. Binding of GATA3 in the regulatory regions of the genes of these cytokines alters chromatin structure, increasing accessibility to other transcription factors. T cell receptor activation activates NFAT and other transcription factors that cooperate with GATA3 in inducing Th2 cell differentiation. Blocking GATA3 action has been suggested as a therapeutic strategy to treat asthma. GATA3 has also been implicated in developmental processes such as the development of the inner ear.
