Overview of Gene Research
St8sia1, also known as GD3 synthase, is a ganglioside synthesis enzyme. It is involved in the synthesis of GD2, a ganglioside. Its activity is related to multiple signaling pathways, and it plays an important role in various biological processes, especially in cancer-related events [1,2,3,4,5,7]. Genetic models, such as gene knockout mouse models, are valuable for studying its function.
In neuroblastoma, a forced adrenergic-to-mesenchymal transition leads to down-regulation of St8sia1, reducing GD2 synthesis and conferring resistance to anti-GD2 antibody [1]. In triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the inhibition of St8sia1 sensitizes the cancer cells to chemotherapy by suppressing Wnt/β-catenin and FAK/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways [2]. In rectal adenocarcinoma, overexpression of St8sia1 inhibits tumor progression via TGF-β1 signaling and promotes the tumoricidal effects of CD8+ T cells [3]. In TNBC, St8sia1 regulates tumor growth and metastasis by activating the FAK-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway [4]. In bladder cancer, St8sia1 overexpression inhibits cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by blocking the JAK/STAT signaling pathway [5]. In gliomas, St8sia1-deficiency in mice alters the tumor environment, reducing disease severity [6].
In conclusion, St8sia1 is crucial in cancer-related biological processes. Gene knockout mouse models have revealed its role in various cancers, including neuroblastoma, TNBC, rectal adenocarcinoma, bladder cancer, and gliomas. Understanding St8sia1 provides insights into cancer mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies.
