Overview of Gene Research
Snd1, also known as Tudor-SN, TSN or p100, is an evolutionarily conserved protein. It contains four staphylococcal nuclease domains and a Tudor domain, endowing it with endonuclease activity and strong nucleic acid-protein interaction capabilities. Snd1 is involved in multiple gene expression regulatory processes such as RNA splicing, interference, stability, and editing, as well as protein and lipid homeostasis regulation. It has been associated with various biological processes and diseases, and genetic models are valuable for studying its functions [5].
In cancer research, Snd1 is highly expressed in most cancers and its expression is related to patient prognosis. For example, in breast cancer, disrupting the MTDH-SND1 complex using small-molecule inhibitors can suppress tumor growth and metastasis, and enhance chemotherapy sensitivity and immune surveillance [2,3,4]. In prostate cancer, knocking down Snd1 in human prostate epithelial cells impacts cell proliferation, and prostate-specific Snd1 deletion in mice reduces cancer growth [6]. In esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, loss of KDM6A or Snd1 leads to enhanced cellular sensitivity to genotoxins [8]. In the study of SARS-CoV-2, Snd1 binds to the 5' end of negative-sense viral RNA and is required for viral RNA synthesis, with Snd1-depleted cells showing smaller replication organelles and diminished virus growth kinetics [1]. In lipid metabolism, Snd1 plays a direct role in regulating cholesterol metabolism by affecting SREBP2 activation [7]. Also, Snd1 knockout mice show decreased fertility, organ and body size, and changes in gene expression similar to adaptation to hypoxia [9].
In summary, Snd1 is crucial in multiple biological processes and diseases. Gene knockout and conditional knockout mouse models have revealed its roles in cancer progression, viral RNA synthesis, lipid metabolism, and hypoxia adaptation. These findings provide important insights into understanding disease mechanisms and developing potential therapeutic strategies related to Snd1-associated functions.
