Overview of Gene Research
Cct4, a member of the chaperonin containing TCP1 complex, is a key component of the CCT chaperone complex. It is involved in protein folding, and is associated with pathways like mTOR signaling [1]. CCT4 has been found to be important in maintaining proteostasis, a crucial biological process for cell survival and function [5].
In various cancers, CCT4 has shown significant roles. In glioblastoma, YB-1 protein binds to the 5'UTR of CCT4 mRNA to promote its translation, which in turn activates the mTOR signaling pathway, promoting tumor growth [1]. In esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, CCT4 is highly expressed, and its knockdown inhibits glycolysis, enhances cisplatin sensitivity, and affects cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and cell cycle [2]. In hepatocellular carcinoma, CCT4 is upregulated, and its knockdown inhibits tumor cell proliferation, induces apoptosis, and interacts with Cdc20 to regulate anaphase-promoting complex activity [3]. In breast cancer, CCT4 is overexpressed and is involved in the LINC01234/hsa-miR-30c-2-3p/CCT4/mTOR axis, promoting malignant behaviors of cancer cells [6]. In contrast, in Wilms tumor, CCT4 is downregulated and may play a reverse regulatory role, potentially through the ErbB signaling pathway [4]. Also, a compound anticarin-β can specifically bind to and inhibit CCT4, showing anti-osteosarcoma effects by impairing proteostasis [5].
In conclusion, CCT4 plays essential roles in protein folding and is intricately involved in multiple cancer-related biological processes. The study of CCT4 using gene-knockout or conditional-knockout models, as inferred from these findings, could potentially provide further insights into its role in cancer development and progression, offering potential therapeutic targets for these diseases.
