Overview of Gene Research
SFTPB, encoding pulmonary surfactant-associated protein B, is crucial for the formation and function of pulmonary surfactant. Pulmonary surfactant is essential for reducing surface tension in the alveoli, preventing alveolar collapse during expiration, and maintaining normal gas exchange in the lungs [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. It is involved in fibrosis-related pathways and lung development and function [1,2,3,8]. Genetic models can help understand its precise role.
In research, SFTPB in serum extracellular vesicles (EVs) can predict the progression of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) better than known biomarkers like serum KL-6 and SP-D. Pro-SFTPB levels increase in both serum EVs and lungs of patients with progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF), and in a mouse model, pro-SFTPB levels from alveolar epithelial type 2 cells increase in serum EVs and lungs, reflecting pro-fibrotic changes [1]. Biallelic pathogenic variants in SFTPB have been associated with fatal forms of ILD in newborns and pulmonary fibrosis in adults. A new homozygous SFTPB pathogenic variant in adults led to abnormal splicing and almost complete loss of SP-B expression, causing epithelial cell dysfunction and ILD [2]. The SFTPB gene CC genotype increases the risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome in COVID-19 patients, while the TT genotype requires shorter respiratory support [3]. Footprint-free CRISPR-based gene correction of PSCs derived from patients with a homozygous surfactant mutation (SFTPB121ins2) restores surfactant processing in alveolar epithelial type 2 cells (AEC2s), indicating its role in surfactant processing [4]. Homozygous, intragenic tandem duplication of SFTPB causes neonatal respiratory failure [5]. Proteome-wide Mendelian randomization studies suggest SFTPB as a potential therapeutic target for lung cancer [6,7]. Pulmonary epithelial cell-specific knockdown of NAMPT up-regulates SFTPB expression and attenuates acute lung injury in a mouse model [8]. Gene polymorphisms of SFTPB rs7316, rs9752 affect the diagnostic value of plasma Pro-SFTPB in Chinese Han non-small-cell lung cancer patients [9]. SCGB3A2+ SFTPB+ terminal airway-enriched secretory cells (TASCs) are unique to distal airways but are lost in COPD pre-terminal and terminal bronchioles [10].
In conclusion, SFTPB is vital for pulmonary surfactant function and lung health. Research using models has revealed its significance in various lung-related diseases such as ILDs, COVID-19-associated lung damage, neonatal respiratory failure, and lung cancer. Understanding SFTPB's role through these models provides insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies for lung-related conditions.
