Overview of Gene Research
Ddx1, a member of the DEAD box family of RNA helicases, is involved in multiple aspects of RNA metabolism, such as 3'-end RNA processing, DNA repair, microRNA processing, tRNA maturation, and mRNA transport [2,6]. It has also been linked to R-loop formation and resolution, and is associated with pathways like DNA repair, RNA transport, and replication [4,5].
In mouse models, Ddx1 knockout leads to embryo stalling at the 2-4 cell stages, disruption of calcium distribution, increased mitochondria membrane potential, mitochondrial activity, and reactive oxygen species [1]. Additionally, Ddx1 knockout results in transgenerational wild-type lethality in mice [6]. In non-small cell lung cancer cells, depleting Ddx1 increases sensitivity to chemotherapy by attenuating cancer stem cell traits [3].
In conclusion, Ddx1 is essential for embryonic development, and its function is crucial in maintaining normal cellular processes. Mouse knockout models have revealed its significant roles in embryonic development and cancer-related processes, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in cancer treatment.
