Overview of Gene Research
Gpr17, a G-protein-coupled receptor, is phylogenetically related to purinergic P2Y and CysLT receptors. It is mainly expressed in the CNS and in organs prone to ischemic damage [2]. Gpr17 is involved in various pathologies such as stroke, brain and spinal cord trauma, multiple sclerosis, and other diseases characterized by neuronal and myelin dysfunction. It also plays a role in oligodendrogenesis, myelination, and may be involved in energy homeostasis [2,3,4,5,8,9].
In KO/CKO mouse models and other loss-of-function experiments: Inhibition or knockdown of hippocampal Gpr17 attenuated lipopolysaccharide-induced cognitive impairment, inhibited Aβ production, regulated NF-κB/CREB/BDNF signaling, and suppressed neuroinflammation [1]. Intestinal Gpr17 deficiency improved glucose metabolism by promoting GLP-1 secretion [6]. Inhibition of Gpr17 in basolateral amygdala glutamatergic neurons improved anxiety-like behaviors in a chronic restraint stress mouse model [7]. Gpr17-null mice and mice with oligodendrocyte-specific knockout of Gpr17 had lean phenotypes on a high-fat diet, suggesting Gpr17 in oligodendrocytes regulates body weight [8].
In conclusion, Gpr17 is crucial in multiple biological processes. Model-based research, especially through Gpr17 KO/CKO mouse models, has revealed its significance in cognitive function, glucose metabolism, anxiety-like behaviors, and body weight regulation. These findings suggest Gpr17 could be a potential therapeutic target for diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, obesity, and anxiety disorders [1,6,7,8].
