Overview of Gene Research
Zcchc14, a CCHC-type zinc finger protein, is expressed in human and mouse tissues. It has been implicated in various biological processes and diseases. It is involved in pathways such as MAPK-P38, and in complex with non-canonical TENT4 poly(A) polymerases, it is essential for the replication of certain viruses [1,2,3,5].
In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), knockdown of Zcchc14 using Nuclease technology KO plasmids enhanced cancer cell proliferation and invasion, and up-regulated p-P38, cyclinD1 and MMP7, suggesting Zcchc14 regulates NSCLC development via the P38 pathway [1].
In hepatitis A virus (HAV) replication, Zcchc14 binds to a stem-loop in the HAV 5' untranslated RNA, recruits TENT4, and is required for viral RNA synthesis. Chemical inhibition of TENT4A/B affected viral RNA synthesis but not the HAV 3' poly(A) tail length [2].
In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), knockdown of Zcchc14 inactivated the Akt/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling and inhibited HCC cell proliferation, while overexpression of Zcchc14 had the opposite effect [4].
In conclusion, Zcchc14 plays crucial regulatory roles in multiple disease conditions, including NSCLC, HCC, and viral infections such as HAV. Gene knockout studies have been instrumental in revealing its functions in these diseases, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target.
