Overview of Gene Research
CHAC1, also known as glutathione-specific γ-glutamylcyclotransferase 1, is a key regulator in multiple biological processes. As a γ-glutamyl cyclotransferase, it degrades glutathione, thereby influencing calcium signaling and mitochondrial function. It is involved in the unfolded protein response pathway and is crucial for maintaining redox balance and regulating cell death pathways [2].

In ischemic stroke, bioinformatic analysis identified CHAC1 as a key gene in ferroptosis progress. ADSC-Exo containing miR-760-3p can inhibit CHAC1 expression, improving neurobehavior function and ferroptosis-related outcomes in I/R mice [1]. In gastric cancer, ALKBH5-mediated CHAC1 depletion promotes malignant progression and decreases cisplatin-induced oxidative stress, suggesting CHAC1 modulates intracellular ROS levels and chemotherapy sensitivity [3]. In lung adenocarcinoma, CHAC1 expression is higher in tumor tissues, and its blockade suppresses tumor progression by interfering with glucose metabolism through PKM2 nuclear translocation [4]. In thyroid carcinoma, overexpression of CHAC1 promotes cell ferroptosis and enhances radiation sensitivity [5]. In breast cancer, high CHAC1 expression is associated with poor prognosis [6]. In LPS-induced HK-2 cells, CHAC1 exacerbates ferroptosis and apoptosis by promoting oxidative stress [7]. Also, short-term methionine starvation accelerates tumoral ferroptosis by stimulating CHAC1 transcription, while intermittent methionine deprivation synergizes with checkpoint blockade therapy through CHAC1 upregulation [8].

In summary, CHAC1 plays essential roles in oxidative stress, ferroptosis, and cell death regulation across various diseases including stroke, cancer, and kidney-related conditions. The study of CHAC1 in these disease models helps understand its biological functions and offers potential therapeutic targets for treatment.
