Overview of Gene Research
Mxd4, also known as MAD4, is a transcription factor and a member of the Myc-Max-Mad network [1,2,3]. It functions as a MYC antagonist, regulating important biological processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and cell fate decisions [1,2,3]. It is involved in multiple pathways, which are crucial for maintaining normal cellular functions and preventing diseases [1,2,3]. Genetic models, such as gene knockout mouse models, can be valuable tools for studying Mxd4's functions.

In human keratinocyte (KC) precursors, Mxd4 is expressed at a higher level in quiescent KC stem/progenitor cells. Decreased Mxd4 expression increases MYC expression, enhancing KC precursor proliferation, clonogenic potential, and functionality in 3D epidermis organoid generation, highlighting its role in regulating KC precursor fate [1]. In myeloid leukemia, depletion of UHRF1 or SAP30 derepresses Mxd4, suppressing leukemogenesis, while further knockdown of Mxd4 can rescue leukemogenesis by activating the MYC pathway, indicating its significance in AML [2]. In CD8+ T cells, CDK4/6 inhibition upregulates Mxd4, promoting CD8 T-cell memory formation, and silencing Mxd4 demonstrates its importance in this process [3].

In summary, Mxd4 is a key regulator in multiple biological processes. Its role as a MYC antagonist is evident in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation in various cell types. Through model-based research, Mxd4 has been shown to be involved in diseases like leukemia and potentially in cancer immunotherapy, as it impacts CD8+ T-cell memory formation. These findings enhance our understanding of normal cellular function and disease mechanisms related to Mxd4.
