Overview of Gene Research
Gpc5, also known as Glypican-5, is a member of heparan sulfate proteoglycans. It plays a role in various biological processes and is involved in multiple signaling pathways. In cancer, its role is of particular interest, as it has been implicated in influencing cancer progression, and its expression is associated with prognosis in certain cancers [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. Genetic models, such as gene knockout (KO) or conditional knockout (CKO) mouse models, can be valuable for studying its function.
In lung cancer, Gpc5 functions as a tumor suppressor. Overexpression of Gpc5 transcriptionally enhances CTDSP1 expression via the AhR-ARNT pathway, inhibiting lung cancer cell proliferation. Exosomes from Gpc5-overexpressing lung cancer cells also repress human lymphatic endothelial cells, affecting tube formation and migration [1]. Additionally, Gpc5 polymorphism rs2352028 C > T is associated with a better prognosis in Chinese lung cancer patients [2]. In gastric cancer, the lncRNA Gpc5-AS1 stabilizes Gpc5 mRNA, reducing tumor progression [3]. In lung adenocarcinoma, Gpc5 is epigenetically silenced, and its overexpression inhibits cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and tumor growth by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway [5]. In prostate cancer, the low expression of Gpc5 is associated with increased serum prostate-specific antigen, higher Gleason scores, advanced tumor stage, positive lymph node metastasis, and biochemical recurrence, and is an independent prognostic factor for overall survival [7].
In conclusion, Gpc5 is an important gene, and its role as a tumor suppressor is evident in multiple cancer types, including lung and prostate cancer. Model-based research, such as through KO or CKO mouse models, would likely further elucidate its function in these disease conditions, potentially providing new insights for cancer treatment strategies.
