Overview of Gene Research
SEC14L2, also known as tocopherol-associated protein (TAP), belongs to a family of lipid-binding proteins [6]. It is essential for regulating lipid-related processes. For instance, it plays a role in the phosphatidylinositol transfer, facilitating the conversion of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) at the endosome fission site, which is crucial for endosomal cargo sorting and targeting [5]. It is also involved in cholesterol transport [2].
SEC14L2 has been found to be of great significance in multiple disease-related studies. In hepatitis C virus (HCV) research, SEC14L2 enables the replication of HCV isolates in cell culture, with different HCV genotypes reacting differently to its presence. All tested single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of SEC14L2 supported HCV RNA replication in vitro, but one SNP was associated with decreased SEC14L2 expression and viral RNA [1,4]. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), SEC14L2 promotes cholesterol uptake by up-regulating SCARB1 expression, thereby promoting NSCLC development. Knockdown of SEC14L2 significantly reduces the proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells [2]. In oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), high expression of SEC14L2 is associated with advanced tumor stages, grades, metastasis, and poor patient survival [3]. In castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), low expression of SEC14L2 is associated with poorer disease-free survival, higher Gleason score, and promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in CRPC cells [7]. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), SEC14L2 exerts an anti-proliferative effect and strongly suppresses tumor growth in a mouse model [8]. In breast cancer, its expression is downregulated, raising the possibility of it being a tumor suppressor [9]. Also, in the Tibetan Chinese population, a SNP (rs1061660) in SEC14L2 is associated with an increased risk of pulmonary tuberculosis [10].
In conclusion, SEC14L2 is a key lipid-binding protein involved in various lipid-related biological processes. Its dysregulation is associated with multiple diseases, including viral infections, different types of cancers, and tuberculosis. Research on SEC14L2 using various models, though not specifically KO/CKO mouse models in the provided references, has enhanced our understanding of disease mechanisms, potentially paving the way for new therapeutic strategies.
