Overview of Gene Research
NLRP2, a member of the Nod-like receptor (NLR) family, has a complex role in biology. It may be involved in the innate immune response, with the ability to initiate inflammasome and promote inflammation, yet can also down-regulate inflammatory signals. It is associated with the NF-κB pathway and shows high expression in the placenta, indicating potential functions in the reproductive system [1].

In a mouse model of cystinosis, Nlrp2 deletion led to delayed development of Fanconi syndrome and kidney tissue damage. Ctns-/-Nlrp2-/-animals had less glucosuria, calciuria, lower levels of inflammatory cell infiltration, tubular atrophy, and interstitial fibrosis, suggesting Nlrp2 is a potential target for delaying kidney disease progression in cystinosis [2]. In lung adenocarcinoma cells, NLRP2 silencing promoted cell proliferation and migration by stimulating NF-kB signaling, while in triple-negative breast cancer, NLRP2 re-expression inhibited tumor growth and metastasis, enhancing chemotherapeutic sensitivity [3,4]. In oocytes, Nlrp2-deficient mature adult mice showed slower oocyte development and declining reproductive rates, indicating Nlrp2 is a critical regulator of oocyte quality [5].

In conclusion, NLRP2 has diverse functions. It plays a role in inflammation regulation, and its deletion in mouse models reveals its significance in kidney disease, cancer progression, and female fertility. These model-based studies contribute to understanding the role of NLRP2 in specific disease areas, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target.
