POU domain, class 4, transcription factor 3
Brn-3C, POU4F3, DFNA15, Brn-3.1
This gene encodes a member of the POU-domain family of transcription factors. POU-domain proteins have been observed to play important roles in control of cell identity in several systems. This protein is found in the retina and may play a role in determining or maintaining the identities of a small subset of visual system neurons. Defects in this gene are the cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal dominant type 15. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009] (from

Transcriptome profiling of induced hair cells (iHCs) generated by combined expression of Gfi1, Pou4f3 and Atoh1 during embryonic stem cell differentiation.
New
Lisbon, Portugal. In Genom Data, Dec 2015
We found that combined activity of three transcription factors, Gfi1, Pou4f3, and Atoh1, can program ESC-derived progenitors towards HC fate with efficiencies of 55%-80%.
Fractalkine Signaling Regulates Macrophage Recruitment into the Cochlea and Promotes the Survival of Spiral Ganglion Neurons after Selective Hair Cell Lesion.
New
Saint Louis, United States. In J Neurosci, Dec 2015
We used a novel transgenic mouse model in which the human diphtheria toxin receptor (huDTR) is selectively expressed under the control of Pou4f3, a hair cell-specific transcription factor.
Short Report - Clinical Genetics Genomic copy number alterations in non-syndromic hearing loss.
New
São Paulo, Brazil. In Clin Genet, Nov 2015
Rare copy number variants (CNVs) were detected in 12 probands; four of the detected CNVs comprised genes previously associated with hearing loss (POU4F3, EYA4, USH2A, BCAP31) and were considered causative, stressing the contribution of genomic imbalance to non-syndromic deafness.
Neurog1 can partially substitute for Atoh1 function in hair cell differentiation and maintenance during organ of Corti development.
New
Iowa City, United States. In Development, Sep 2015
Replacement of Atoh1 with Neurog1 maintains limited expression of Pou4f3 and Barhl1 and rescues HCs quantitatively, but not qualitatively.
Generation of sensory hair cells by genetic programming with a combination of transcription factors.
New
Lisbon, Portugal. In Development, Jul 2015
Here, we show that combined expression of the transcription factors Gfi1, Pou4f3 and Atoh1 can induce direct programming towards HC fate, both during in vitro mouse embryonic stem cell differentiation and following ectopic expression in chick embryonic otic epithelium.
Triage of Atypical Glandular Cell by SOX1 and POU4F3 Methylation: A Taiwanese Gynecologic Oncology Group (TGOG) Study.
Taipei, Taiwan. In Plos One, 2014
INTRODUCTION: Invasive procedures including loop electrosurgical excision, cervical conization, and endometrial sampling are often recommended when atypical glandular cells (AGC) are detected on Pap smear with unsatisfactory colposcopy.
Opportunities and limits of the one gene approach: the ability of Atoh1 to differentiate and maintain hair cells depends on the molecular context.
Review
Iowa City, United States. In Front Cell Neurosci, 2014
However, other gene mutations also result in loss of initially forming HCs, notably null mutants for Pou4f3, Barhl1, and Gfi1.
Triage of high-risk human papillomavirus-positive women by methylated POU4F3.
Taipei, Taiwan. In Clin Epigenetics, 2014
Five genes, POU4F3, HS3ST2, AJAP1, PAX1, and SOX1, were prioritized for the clinical performance to triage hrHPV-positive women.

A novel frameshift mutation of POU4F3 gene associated with autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss.
GeneRIF
Taegu, South Korea. In Biochem Biophys Res Commun, 2010
This is the first report of a POU4F3 mutation in Asia, and moreover our data suggest that further investigation will need to delineate ethnicity-specific genetic background for autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss within Asian populations.
Stem cells and molecular strategies to restore hearing.
Review
Omaha, United States. In Panminerva Med, 2008
In either of these strategies, hair cell specific genes known to be essential for hair cell differentiation or maintenance such as ATOH1, POU4F3, GFI1, and miRNA-183 will be utilized with the hope of completely restoring hearing to all patients with hearing loss.
Molecular modelling insights into DFNA15 mediated enhancement of POU4F3 stability.
GeneRIF
Liège, Belgium. In Int J Comput Biol Drug Des, 2007
Molecular modelling is utilised to propose a mechanism of stability enhancement, via an interaction between the truncated POU(HD) domain and the POU(S) domain of the transcription factor.
