Overview of Gene Research
Osgin2, an oxidative stress-induced factor, belongs to the Osgin gene family involved in the cellular oxidative stress response [7]. Although its biochemical role remains undefined, misregulation of Osgin2 has been associated with various diseases. It may play a part in pathways related to cell proliferation, apoptosis, and autophagy [7].
In osteoporotic rats, oxidative stress in jawbone bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is increased, along with up-regulation of Osgin2. Silence of Osgin2 ameliorates the declined osteogenesis of jawbone BMSCs under oxidative stress, restoring the expressions of RORα and its downstream osteogenic markers. Intra-jawbone infusion of si-OSGIN2 rescues jawbone loss and promotes new bone deposition [1]. In gastric cancer, high levels of Osgin2 in carcinoma cells and tissues are associated with a poor prognosis. Knockdown of Osgin2 inhibits tumor cell proliferation and causes cell cycle arrest [2]. In endothelial cells, the expression of Osgin2 is increased by cigarette smoke extract and TNFα under elevated flow, and knockdown of Osgin1&2 (including Osgin2) inhibits Nrf2-induced cell detachment [3]. In cadmium-exposed Tim-3 knockout mice, Osgin2 expression is affected, and Tim-3 deficiency aggravates cadmium nephrotoxicity [4]. In human dental-pulp-stem-cells-derived neurons, exposure to Ag-NPs changes the mRNA expression level of Osgin2 [5]. In soft-tissue sarcoma, miR-199a-5p regulates the 3'UTR of Osgin2 gene, and low miR-199a-5p expression is correlated with a poor patient outcome [6]. In colorectal cancer, Osgin2 is among the oxidative stress-related genes used to build a prognostic risk model [8]. In chicken breeds, Osgin2 is a candidate gene for cold adaptation [9]. In Ningqiang ponies, Osgin2 is associated with bone development [10].
In conclusion, Osgin2 is involved in multiple biological processes and disease conditions. Model-based research, such as gene knockdown experiments in different organisms, has revealed its role in osteogenesis, cancer cell proliferation, endothelial cell adhesion, cadmium-induced nephrotoxicity, and other biological functions related to oxidative stress, bone development, and environmental adaptation.
