Overview of Gene Research
Znrf2, Zinc and ring finger 2, is an E3 ubiquitin ligase. It plays roles in multiple biological processes such as regulating the Na+/K+ATPase [4]. It is also involved in the mTORC1-related pathways, like promoting mTORC1's amino acid-stimulated translocation to lysosomes and its activation, and being a substrate of mTORC1 itself [7].

In cancer, Znrf2 generally shows higher expression in tumors compared to normal tissues. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), high Znrf2 levels are correlated with poor prognosis, and overexpression increases cell growth while depletion decreases it [5]. In glioma, its elevated expression is related to increased grades and worse prognosis, and knockdown impairs cell proliferation and glycolysis [2]. In breast cancer, it is highly expressed, and knockdown suppresses cell proliferation and induces apoptosis [3]. In osteosarcoma, high Znrf2 levels and low miR-100 levels are observed, and Znrf2 overexpression increases cell growth [6]. In papillary thyroid cancer, lncRNA TTN-AS1 modulates the miR-153-3p/Znrf2 axis to facilitate tumorigenesis [8]. In cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, overexpression of Znrf2 reduces injury by inhibiting mTORC1-mediated autophagy [1].

In conclusion, Znrf2 has diverse functions in various biological processes and diseases. In cancer, it often acts as an oncogene promoting tumor growth and progression. In cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, it plays a protective role. Studies on Znrf2 using different models help understand its functions in disease mechanisms, providing potential targets for treatment.
