Overview of Gene Research
Slc6a14, also known as amino acid transporter B0,+ (ATB0,+), is a Na+/Cl--coupled transporter that imports and concentrates all neutral amino acids, as well as lysine and arginine, into the cytoplasm of different cell types [3,4,5]. It is involved in the glutaminolysis and serine-glycine-one-carbon pathways, which are reprogramed and upregulated in cancer to support cell growth and proliferation [3]. Additionally, it may play a role in maintaining epithelial integrity and anti-infective response in the airways [2].

In ulcerative colitis (UC), Slc6a14 knockdown markedly suppressed ferroptosis, and it was found to facilitate ferroptosis by promoting C/EBPβ expression and binding activity to inhibit PAK6 expression [1]. In cystic fibrosis, Slc6a14 is a modifier gene that may modulate the anti-infective response and epithelial integrity of the airways, and its SNP rs3788766 is associated with lung disease severity, with the minor allele G being deleterious [2,7]. In breast cancer, its expression is upregulated in estrogen receptor positive cells, and inhibition of heat shock protein 90β, which interacts with Slc6a14, decreases its transport activity and cell-surface level [4,8]. Also, Slc6a14 -/- mice on a high-fat diet gained more weight, developed fatty liver and metabolic syndrome, indicating a link between Slc6a14 deficiency and obesity under such dietary conditions [6].

In conclusion, Slc6a14 plays a crucial role in multiple biological processes, especially in cancer-related metabolism, and in the pathophysiology of ulcerative colitis, cystic fibrosis, and obesity-related metabolic disorders. Gene knockout mouse models, like the Slc6a14 -/- mice, have been instrumental in revealing its functions in these disease conditions, helping us understand its underlying mechanisms and potential as a therapeutic target.
