Overview of Gene Research
Atoh1, also known as Math1, Hath1, and Cath1 in mouse, human, and chicken respectively, is a proneural basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor. It is crucial for the development and regeneration of cochlear hair cells, differentiation of neurons, secretory cells in the gut, and mechanoreceptors [1,3,4,5,7]. Atoh1 is transcriptionally regulated by signaling pathways like Notch and Wnt, and post-translationally by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway [1].
In Lkb1Lgr5-KO mice, where LKB1 was deleted from intestinal stem cells (ISCs), most crypts had functional ISCs with increased Atoh1 mRNA levels, leading to more cells in the secretory lineage, and this did not involve Notch or Wnt signaling [2]. In Tff1-CreERT2; Rosa26Tdtomato and Tff1-CreERT2; Apcfl/fl ; p53fl/fl (TcPP) mouse models, Atoh1 deletion in pit cells of gastric adenocarcinoma conferred stemness, accelerated cancer stemness and chemoresistance, and downregulated growth arrest-specific protein 1 (GAS1) [6].
In conclusion, Atoh1 is essential for the development and differentiation of multiple cell types including cochlear hair cells, neurons, and intestinal secretory cells. Gene knockout models in mice have revealed its role in promoting stemness and disease progression in gastric adenocarcinoma, and its regulation in intestinal stem cell fate. Understanding Atoh1's functions can potentially lead to new therapeutic strategies for diseases like deafness and gastric cancer.
