Overview of Gene Research
LYAR, also known as Ly-1 antibody reactive clone, is a cell growth-regulating nucleolar protein. It is involved in multiple biological processes and pathways. LYAR plays a role in ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis, as it can recruit BRD2/4 and the MYST-type acetyltransferase KAT7 to rDNA, enhancing rRNA synthesis by altering histone acetylation [3]. It is also associated with translational control as it was identified in cytoplasmic ribosomes of male germ and cancer cells and promoted cell proliferation [6]. In addition, LYAR is implicated in the innate immune response, where it acts as a negative regulator by targeting phosphorylated interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) to suppress beta interferon (IFN-β) induction [1].
In colorectal cancer (CRC), LYAR is highly expressed compared to adjacent normal tissue and is closely associated with distant metastasis. Knockdown (KD) of LYAR in CRC cells inhibits xenograft tumor metastasis in vivo. It promotes CRC cell migration and invasion by upregulating FSCN1 expression and fatty acid metabolism, as well as by activating galectin-1 expression [2,5]. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), LYAR is overexpressed, and its knockdown inhibits cell proliferation, induces G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis [4].
In conclusion, LYAR is a multifunctional protein involved in cell growth, innate immunity, and cancer progression. Functional studies, especially those using knockdown models in cancer cells, have revealed its role in promoting tumorigenesis in CRC and NSCLC. Understanding LYAR's functions provides potential targets for treating these diseases.
