Overview of Gene Research
PRKAB1, encoding the β1 regulatory subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), is crucial in regulating the metabolism of carbohydrate, lipid, and protein, and is considered a key regulator of cellular energy homeostasis [2]. AMPK is an evolutionarily conserved sensor of cellular and systemic energy balance, and PRKAB1 has been shown to be highly involved in glycogen metabolism [7,8].
In a multi-omics study on Crohn's disease, PRKAB1 was identified as one of the genes involved in gene-microbiota interactions. The association between PRKAB1-Escherichia coli in the validation cohort was consistent with eQTL-mbQTL colocalization, suggesting its role in the disease mechanism [1]. In goats, four novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PRKAB1 were found, with some SNPs showing significant associations with growth traits in Xuhuai goats [2]. In a Mendelian randomization study on glucose-lowering drug targets and gastrointestinal cancer, weak evidence indicated connections of PRKAB1 with anal carcinoma, cardia cancer, ICC, and rectum cancer [3]. A study on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) showed that a compound, buddleoside, bound to the PRKAB1 subunit and activated AMPK, alleviating NASH symptoms [4]. Also, in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), miR-802 was found to inhibit hepatic AMPK expression by binding to the 3' untranslated region of Prkab1, and schisanhenol improved NAFLD by targeting the miR-802/AMPK pathway related to PRKAB1 [5]. A Mendelian randomization study on lung cancer showed that the PRKAB1 gene was associated with a lower risk of developing lung adenocarcinoma [6].
In conclusion, PRKAB1 is essential for regulating cellular energy homeostasis and metabolism. Studies in various disease models such as Crohn's disease, NASH, NAFLD, and in relation to growth traits in goats, and cancer risks, have revealed its significance in disease mechanisms and biological processes. These model-based studies contribute to understanding the role of PRKAB1 in different physiological and pathological conditions.
