Detailed Document
Overview of Gene Research
Oma1 is a mitochondrial protease with a predicted transmembrane domain, believed to be tethered to the mitochondrial inner membrane [2]. It plays crucial roles in mitochondrial quality control, redox activity, and stress responses [5]. Oma1 is involved in pathways such as the integrated stress response (ISR) via the Oma1-Dele1-Atf4 axis, and it can cleave substrates like DELE1 and the membrane-shaping dynamin-related GTPase OPA1 [2,4].
In mitochondrial cardiomyopathy, cardiac-specific loss of the cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor Cox10 in mice activates Oma1, leading to mitochondrial fragmentation and induction of ISR. Ablation of Oma1 or Dele1 in these Cox10 -/- mice aggravates cardiomyopathy, and ISR inhibition promotes ferroptosis, demonstrating a protective role of the Oma1-Dele1-mediated ISR [1]. In colorectal cancer, Oma1 knockout suppresses cancer development in AOM/DSS and xenograft mice models. Hypoxia activates the Oma1-OPA1 axis, increasing mitochondrial ROS to stabilize HIF-1α and promote glycolysis, while Oma1 depletion under hypoxia promotes the accumulation of certain OXPHOS components, indicating its role in coordinating glycolysis and OXPHOS [3].
In conclusion, Oma1 is a key regulator in mitochondria-related biological processes. Gene knockout (KO) mouse models have revealed its significance in mitochondrial cardiomyopathy and colorectal cancer, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in these disease areas. Its role in regulating mitochondrial dynamics, stress responses, and metabolism is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis [1,3].
