Detailed Document
Overview of Gene Research
Tm4sf19, a member of the tetraspanin family, has diverse functions. It is involved in regulating lysosomal activity, cytoskeletal rearrangements, and cell adhesion. It impacts pathways related to inflammation, metabolism, and bone resorption, and is thus of biological importance in understanding obesity, osteoporosis, and related diseases. Genetic models, such as knockout mice, have been crucial in studying its functions [1,2].
In obesity, Tm4sf19 deletion in male mice fed a high-fat diet reduces lipid-associated macrophage (LAM) accumulation, increases restorative macrophages, and improves insulin sensitivity and energy expenditure by promoting adipocyte hyperplasia instead of hypertrophy [1]. In osteoporosis, Tm4sf19 deficiency in mice inhibits osteoclast multinucleation and prevents bone loss as it interacts with integrin αvβ3 through its large extracellular loop (LEL), regulating cytoskeletal rearrangements [2]. In collagen-induced arthritis, inhibition of Tm4sf19 by LEL-Fc reduces inflammation and bone destruction by suppressing TLR4-mediated inflammatory signaling and abnormal osteoclast activation [3].
In conclusion, Tm4sf19 plays essential roles in metabolic and skeletal-related diseases. Gene knockout models in mice have revealed its functions in obesity-induced inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and bone-related pathologies, providing insights for potential therapeutic strategies targeting these disease areas.
