Overview of Gene Research
Klf16, a member of the Kruppel-like factor (KLF) family, is a transcription factor [8]. It is involved in multiple biological functions, such as regulating lipid metabolism, being associated with adipose tissue development and glucose metabolism [8]. It also plays roles in various signaling pathways, like those related to cancer, immunity, and oxidative stress [8]. Genetic models, especially KO/CKO mouse models, are valuable for studying Klf16's functions.
In the context of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), Klf16 expression was decreased in patients, mouse models, and oleic acid and palmitic acid-cochallenged hepatocytes [1]. Hepatic Klf16 knockout in mice fed a high-fat diet impaired fatty acid oxidation, aggravated mitochondrial stress, ROS burden, and advanced hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance [1]. Conversely, Klf16 overexpression reduced lipid deposition and improved insulin resistance by directly binding to the promoter of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), accelerating fatty acid oxidation, and attenuating mitochondrial and oxidative stress [1].
In summary, Klf16 is crucial in regulating hepatic lipid homeostasis and redox balance. Its deficiency in KO mouse models has revealed its role in promoting insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis in the context of NAFLD. Klf16 also has implications in cancer development as studies in pancreatic adenocarcinoma, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal carcinoma, and retinoblastoma have shown its involvement in promoting cell proliferation, migration, and tumor growth through various molecular mechanisms [2,3,4,5,6,7].
