Overview of Gene Research
POGZ, the pogo transposable element-derived zinc finger protein, is significantly associated with neurodevelopmental processes. It plays a role in transcriptional regulation, maintaining mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and is involved in pathways related to DNA repair, neural differentiation, and suppressing metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer [1,2,5]. Genetic models, such as KO mouse models, are valuable for studying its functions.
In KO mouse models, Pogz haploinsufficiency (Pogz + /delta) leads to developmental delay, impaired intellectual abilities, hyperactive behavior, and a compromised humoral immune response, recapitulating White Sutton syndrome (WHSUS) features. In vivo CRISPR inactivation of Pogz is embryonically lethal [2]. In human embryonic stem cells, loss of POGZ reduces neural stem cell proliferation, affects the generation of intermediate progenitor cells and early-born neurons, and perturbs neuronal migration. It also leads to a more simplified dendritic architecture in cortical-like excitatory neurons [7].
In conclusion, POGZ is crucial for maintaining ESC identity, regulating neural differentiation, and promoting homology-directed DNA repair. The study of POGZ through KO/CKO mouse models has provided insights into neurodevelopmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, and White Sutton syndrome, as well as its role in cancer metastasis [1,2,3,4,6,7,8].
