Overview of Gene Research
Klf9, a Krüppel-like factor, is a transcription factor involved in multiple biological processes. It plays key roles in regulating mitochondrial homeostasis, energy metabolism, and cell differentiation. It is associated with pathways such as PPARγ/NRF2, Notch1-mediated signaling, and is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis in various cell types [1-10]. Genetic models, especially KO/CKO mouse models, have been instrumental in studying its functions.
Global and cardiac-specific Klf9-deficient mice showed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, with Klf9 knockout leading to mitochondrial disarray, fragmentation, and impaired respiratory function in cardiomyocytes. It also inhibited mitophagy, accelerating heart failure upon angiotensin II treatment [1]. In diabetic cardiomyopathy, cardiac-specific overexpression of Klf9 deteriorated cardiac function, while silencing Klf9 ameliorated it, and Klf9 regulated PPARγ and NRF2 [2]. In hyperglycemia-aggravated bupivacaine neurotoxicity, Klf9 knockdown improved cell survival and mitochondrial function [3]. KLF9 deficiency protected the heart from inflammatory injury triggered by myocardial infarction by inhibiting NF-κB and MAPK signaling [4]. In dental stem cells, KLF9 promoted osteogenic differentiation by negatively regulating the Notch1-mediated signaling pathway [5]. In cardiomyocytes, Klf9 knockdown inhibited Dex-induced metabolic adaptations [6]. In COPD, inhibition of KLF9 alleviated airway inflammation [7]. In melanoma, Klf9-dependent ROS regulated tumor progression in a stage-specific manner [8]. Depletion of KLF9 compromised the osteogenic differentiation ability of mesenchymal stem cells [9]. KLF9 and KLF13 were important for oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination [10].
In conclusion, Klf9 is essential for multiple biological functions including mitochondrial homeostasis, cell differentiation, and metabolic adaptations. The study of Klf9 using KO/CKO mouse models has provided insights into its role in diseases such as cardiomyopathy, diabetes-related heart diseases, neurotoxicity, myocardial infarction, and COPD, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target.
