Overview of Gene Research
Zdhhc23, also known as zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 23, is a crucial enzyme involved in protein palmitoylation. Protein palmitoylation is a post-translational modification where a palmitate group is attached to cysteine residues of proteins, regulating their function, localization, and stability. Zdhhc23-mediated palmitoylation is associated with multiple biological pathways and has overall significance in various physiological and pathological processes [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8].

In hepatocellular carcinoma, Zdhhc23 mediates the palmitoylation of PHF2, enhancing its ubiquitin-dependent degradation. This disrupts the function of PHF2 as an E3 ubiquitin ligase of SREBP1c, a master lipogenesis transcription factor, leading to altered lipid metabolism [1].

In large yellow croaker, silencing Lczdhhc23 in macrophage/monocyte cells during Pseudomonas plecoglossicida infection increased pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, indicating its anti-inflammatory role through promoting M2-type macrophage polarization and macrophage necroptosis [2].

In a neuropathic cancer pain model, upregulated Zdhhc23 in spinal cord dorsal horn astrocytes led to increased palmitoylation of GFAP and secretion of inflammatory factors, contributing to cancer pain development [3].

In gliomas, inhibition of Zdhhc23 with 2-bromopalmitate suppressed glioma-cell viability, autophagy, and promoted apoptosis, also weakening microglial migratory ability [4].

In gastric cancer, Zdhhc23 mediated T-bet palmitoylation and promoted its degradation, inhibiting Th1 cell polarization and CD8+ T cell killing effect, while intervention could enhance anti-tumor immunity [6].

In a mouse model of INCL, reduced Zdhhc23 levels decreased membrane-bound APT1, increasing plasma membrane-localized H-Ras and stimulating microglia proliferation [8].

In conclusion, Zdhhc23 is essential in processes like lipid metabolism, immune regulation, pain development, and tumorigenesis. The study of Zdhhc23 using gene knockout or conditional knockout mouse models (or equivalent loss-of-function experiments in other systems) has revealed its role in these specific biological processes and disease conditions, providing insights into potential therapeutic targets for related diseases such as cancer, inflammation-related disorders, and neuropathic pain.
