Overview of Gene Research
Myo5a, coding for myosin VA, is involved in various cellular processes. It is crucial for melanosome transport, which is essential for pigmentation in organisms [2,3]. Myo5a is also likely to be associated with other biological functions related to cell migration and immune-related processes, as indicated by its roles in different diseases.
In head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSC), Myo5a overexpression promotes cell migration in vitro, and its knockdown suppresses vimentin expression. It is a risk factor for human papillomavirus-positive (HPV+) HNSC, and high Myo5a expression in HNSC is correlated with low tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, including activated CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and B cells [1]. In laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, overexpression of serum Myo5a predicts cervical nodal occult metastasis and poor prognosis [4]. In esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, circFNDC3B promotes cancer progression by targeting Myo5a via miR-370-3p/miR-136-5p [5].
In conclusion, Myo5a plays important roles in pigmentation-related processes and is also significantly involved in the progression of multiple types of carcinomas. The study of Myo5a in these disease models helps to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis and metastasis, potentially providing new targets for cancer treatment.
