Overview of Gene Research
Hspg2, also known as heparan sulfate proteoglycan 2, encodes perlecan, a multifunctional proteoglycan. It preserves extracellular matrix integrity, controls signaling pathways, and influences many developmental processes, such as heart and brain formation, and is widely expressed in the musculoskeletal system [2]. It is involved in pathways like TNFSF13-NF-κB [1], and NID1/AKT [3].

In the context of hypertrophic scar, TNFSF13 binds to Hspg2 to activate the NF-κB signaling pathway, regulating the proliferation, migration, fibrosis, and inflammatory response of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts. MSC-exo can alleviate hypertrophic scar by inhibiting the TNFSF13/Hspg2 signaling pathway [1]. In bladder cancer, Hspg2 promotes tumor cell proliferation and chemotherapy resistance through the NID1/AKT signaling pathway [3]. In acute myeloid leukemia, Hspg2 overexpression is associated with poor prognosis [4]. In melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer, Hspg2 mutations are predictive of a better immune checkpoint inhibitor response [5]. Mutations in Hspg2 can also cause Schwartz-Jampel syndrome type 1, a rare musculoskeletal disorder [6].

In summary, Hspg2 plays essential roles in development, extracellular matrix maintenance, and various signaling pathways. Its dysregulation is associated with multiple diseases, including fibrotic, cancerous, and musculoskeletal disorders. Understanding Hspg2 through model-based research, such as the implications of its mutations and expression changes, can provide insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
