Overview of Gene Research
Lrig1, or leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains protein 1, is a significant regulator with multiple functions. It primarily acts as an endogenous feedback regulator of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), especially antagonizing the expression and activities of ERBB and other RTKs [2,5,6]. This regulation is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis, as it is involved in processes like stem cell quiescence and tumor suppression. Genetic models, such as knockout mouse models, have been instrumental in studying Lrig1's functions.

In T-cell-specific Lrig1-deleted mice, superior antitumor responses were observed due to the expansion of tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes with enhanced effector function and survival, suggesting Lrig1 as an inhibitory immune checkpoint receptor [1]. In the context of adult neural stem cells, genetic disruption of Lrig1 in vivo led to enhanced proliferation, indicating its role as a regulator of cell cycle re-entry [3]. Lrig1-deficient regulatory T cells showed impaired suppressive function, while adoptive transfer of CD4 + Lrig1 + T cells alleviated autoimmune symptoms in mouse models [4]. In the colon, inducible knockout of Lrig1 showed it restrains proliferation during development [7]. In the kidney, Lrig1 + cells contribute to kidney development and repair in injury models [8]. In adult neural stem cells, Lrig1 knockout led to increased proliferation likely through impaired TGFβ and BMP signaling [9].

In summary, Lrig1 is a pleiotropic regulator involved in stem cell quiescence, tumor suppression, immune regulation, and tissue development and repair. The use of Lrig1 knockout and conditional knockout mouse models has significantly advanced our understanding of its role in cancer immunotherapy, autoimmunity, and tissue-specific physiological processes.
