The ZBED6 (zinc finger, BED-type containing 6) transcription factor is unique to placental mammals. Its high degree of sequence conservation among placental mammals indicates that it has an essential function. Using two colorectal cancer cell lines we have, for the first time to our knowledge, completely inactivated ZBED6 by genome editing. Our results demonstrate that ZBED6 is not required for cell survival, but its ablation led to consistent changes in cell growth within cell lines but opposite trends between cell lines. The results are in line with the hypothesis that ZBED6 is a transcriptional modulator that does not determine whether or not its target genes are active but fine-tunes their expression. Thus, its effect on tumorigenesis will depend on the transcriptional state of the cell.
