Overview of Gene Research
Ltf, which encodes lactotransferrin, is an iron-binding transport protein. It is involved in multiple biological processes, such as iron metabolism, immune response, and inflammation regulation [1,2,3,5,6]. It is associated with pathways like the JAK/STAT3, NF-κB, and ubiquitin-proteasome systems, and has significance in various diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative conditions, and degenerative disorders [1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9]. Genetic models, especially knockout (KO) mouse models, can be valuable in studying its function.
In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), METTL16-SENP3 axis promotes LTF expression. Elevated LTF chelates free iron, reducing liable iron pool level and conferring ferroptosis resistance and tumorigenesis [1]. In hyperglycemic mice with intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke, lack of neutrophilic Ltf transcription and secretion exacerbates neuronal ferroptosis, while recombinant Ltf administration protects against it [3]. In osteosarcoma, overexpression of LTF promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, suggesting it may serve as a prognostic biomarker [4].
In summary, Ltf is crucial in iron-related processes and immune-related responses. Studies using KO mouse models, like those in HCC and stroke, have revealed its role in ferroptosis-related disease conditions, providing insights into potential therapeutic strategies for treating related diseases.
