Overview of Gene Research
Slc4a11, a member of the bicarbonate transporter family, is an electrogenic H+ transporter activated by NH3 and alkaline pH, despite not transporting bicarbonate [1]. It has been implicated in processes such as glutamine catabolism, mitochondrial superoxide regulation, and is induced by oxidative stress through NRF2 [1]. It also has potential roles in ion and water transport, and its study via genetic models like KO mouse models can offer insights into its functions.
Slc4a11 -null -mouse models recapitulate the phenotypes of congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy (CHED), including corneal edema and hearing loss, highlighting its role in CHED pathophysiology [2]. Inducible Slc4a11 knockout in mice leads to corneal edema due to disruption of corneal endothelial pump and barrier functions, caused by mitochondrial superoxide-induced Src kinase activation [4]. These KO models show changes in oxidative damage, tight junction integrity, stromal lactate concentration, and expression of key transporters and junction proteins [5].
In conclusion, Slc4a11 plays essential roles in metabolism, oxidative stress regulation, and mitochondrial function. The Slc4a11 KO/CKO mouse models have been crucial in elucidating its role in corneal-related diseases like CHED and Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, providing insights into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms [1,2,3].
