Overview of Gene Research
TTYH2, a member of the tweety gene family, is a calcium-activated, inwardly rectifying anion channel [3]. It has been implicated in regulating cell volume, and is thought to be part of the volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs), which are involved in cellular functions such as cell volume regulation, proliferation, migration, and cell death [1]. TTYH2 may also be related to the trafficking of the TTYH2 channel to the plasma membrane through its interaction with β-COP [3].
In cancer cells, TTYH2 can act as an LRRC8A-independent VRAC, and its absence leads to the loss of VRAC currents [1]. In osteosarcoma cell lines, down-regulation of TTYH2 by siRNA-mediated gene silencing reduces cell invasion and migration, but not proliferation, and also decreases the expression of transcription factors related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition [2]. In colon cancer, TTYH2 gene expression is up-regulated, and its down-regulation by siRNA inhibits cell proliferation and scattering [4]. Additionally, TTYH2 expression is up-regulated in renal cell carcinoma, suggesting its role in kidney tumorigenesis [5].
In summary, TTYH2 plays important roles in multiple cellular functions, especially in cancer-related processes such as cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Studies on TTYH2 in cancer models have provided insights into its potential as a therapeutic target for cancers like osteosarcoma, colon cancer, and renal cell carcinoma.
