The transcription factor PREP1(PKNOX1) regulates nuclear stiffness, the expression of LINC complex proteins and mechanotransduction

The transcription factor PREP1 binds to promoter regions of SUN1, SUN2 and LAP2 genes and promotes nuclear stiffness, and its depletion results in impaired mechanotransduction.
