Overview of Gene Research
The transcription factor ZEB2 drives the formation of age-associated B cells. In Science (New York, N.Y.), 383, 413-421. [3] In T-cells, identification of the t(2; 14)(q22; q32) translocation involving the ZEB2 locus in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia suggested its role as an oncogenic driver. Loss-and gain-of-function studies in mice revealed important roles of Zeb2 during different stages of hematopoiesis, including the T-cell lineage. [2] In autoimmunity, a distinct CXCR3midCD4+ effector memory T cell subset (THA cells) that expands with age and exhibits B-cell helper functions was identified, and these features were regulated by Zeb2. [4] In neuronal development, Sip1 mutation in humans causes Mowat-Wilson syndrome, and Zeb2 controls the expression of genes regulating various aspects of neuronal development as shown in mouse models. [5] In atherosclerosis, Zeb2 regulates smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotypic transition through chromatin remodeling. SMC-specific loss of Zeb2 in mice led to an inability of transitioning SMCs to turn off contractile programming and take on a fibroblast-like phenotype, but accelerated the formation of chondromyocytes, mirroring features of high-risk atherosclerotic plaques in human coronary arteries.
